Welcome to the WSOP International Circuit King's €1,700 Main Event Autumn Edition
For the third time in 2022, the World Series of Poker International Circuit has been heading to Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort in Rozvadov. Throughout the entire stop, a total of 12 coveted WSOP Circuit rings will be awarded and the biggest payday awaits in the €1,700 Main Event, which comes with a guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000.
The previous two editions in the current year attracted 808 and 648 entries respectively, surpassing the seven-figure goal initially while coming up short a few entries back in April. Volkan Alkan emerged as the champion the last time around and claimed a top prize of €160,500 while also securing his entry into the 2022 WSOP Europe €10,350 Main Event as well.
Whether or not Alkan or the previous champion Feyzullah Karaarslan will be back to earn yet another major victory for their poker resume remains to be seen. Among the ring event winners during the ongoing stop were notables such as Dorian Melchers, Peter Kamaras, Renat Bohdanov, Michael Magalashvili, Didier Rabl, and Michael Ugucctoni.
The tournament features two starting days in which nine levels of 60 minutes each will be completed. There will be a 20-minute break every two levels with an extended 45-minute dinner break after level four, during which all participants can take advantage of the buffet at King's Resort. The contenders receive 50,000 in chips and the blinds commence at 100-200 with a big blind ante of 200.
As part of the ongoing qualifier program of the venue, the top 12 finishers in this event will win an entry to the 2022 WSOP Europe Main Event worth €10,350. The hunt for the WSOP glory takes place from October 26 until November 16 and 15 gold bracelets will be awarded.
Late registration for this event remains open for the first two levels on Day 2 at approximately 4.20 pm local time on Saturday, October 9, 2022. All tournament days get underway at 2pm local time and the PokerNews live reporting team will be at the venue from start to finish until a winner has been crowned on Tuesday, October 11.
Live Satellite Underway
Europe's biggest poker arena has already been running live satellites for the flagship €1,700 Main Event. Last night's qualifier dashed out a whopping 25 seats and today's chance to enter the tournament at a bargain also surpassed its guarantee. There were a total of 112 entries of which 24 players currently remain. The top 12 finishers earn the €1,700 seat while the 13th place finisher receives €880 in cash.

Unsal Wins Early Pot Off Puetz
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Joining the action on the 
turn, Onur Unsal bet 3,100 from under the gun and was called by Christopher Puetz on the button. Unsal then elected to check the 
river on which Puetz bet for what appeared to be 5,900.
Unsal instantly called by tossing in a single chip and rolled over his 
for aces and queens despite not being the last aggressor. Puetz nodded, tapped the table and tossed his cards into the muck.

Siemund Involved in the Action
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
While he usually prefers four cards instead of two and has even won a side event during the ongoing stop, Peter Siemund from Berlin is also taking part on Day 1a of the Main Event as well.
With two streets of prior action, the 
river was checked behind him and Iuliu Vlaic. Siemund tabled the 
for a missed gutshot and that was beaten by the 
of Vlaic.
One hand later, Siemund opened to 500 and all opponents folded.

Brimmers Loses a Bunch Without Showdown
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Joining the action on the 
turn, Gerhard Brimmers checked his option and then faced a bet worth 3,800 by Gaetano La Iacona to call.
The 
river paired the board and Brimmers now bet 6,500. That sent his opponent into a brief tank and he then called. Brimmers tossed the cards into the muck to forfeit the pot and La Iacona won the pot without any showdown.
