€1,700 NLH Main Event
Day 2 Completed
The 2022 World Series of Poker International Circuit €1,700 Main Event Autumn Edition at the King's Resort in Rozvadov is one step closer to crowning a champion. Out of a field of 748 entries, only 84 players remain in contention in Europe's biggest poker arena and they all aim to secure a portion of the €1,101,430 prize pool.
Upon completion of nine 60-minute levels, the money bubble was all but reached as the top 80 finishers will earn at least €3,395 for their efforts. With just a few eliminations away from the stone cold bubble, the end of the night was a tense affair and six players claimed a seven-figure stack to their name in pursuit of WSOP glory.
The UK's Matthew Bushell leads the way with 1,208,000, narrowly ahead of Eden Anzio (1,183,000) and Mirza Veletanlic (1,147,000). Czech WSOP Main Event finalist Vojtech Ruzicka retained his prime spot after bagging the most chips on Day 1b and showcased his talents on the live-streamed feature table to finish the night with 1,028,000.
Position | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Matthew Bushell | United Kingdom | 1,208,000 | 101 |
2 | Eden Anzio | Israel | 1,183,000 | 99 |
3 | Mirza Veletanlic | Sweden | 1,147,000 | 96 |
4 | Vojtech Ruzicka | Czech Republic | 1,028,000 | 86 |
5 | Renat Bohdanov | Ukraine | 1,027,000 | 86 |
6 | Dawid Smolka | Poland | 1,019,000 | 85 |
7 | Samuel Tebege | Germany | 987,000 | 82 |
8 | Lars Kamphues | Germany | 880,000 | 73 |
9 | Andrea Sirigu | Italy | 867,000 | 72 |
10 | Iman Ghashayar | Netherlands | 819,000 | 68 |
The overnight top ten also features the WSOP Europe bracelet winner Renat Bohdanov, Dawid Smolka, and Lars Kamphues. Bohdanov was involved in a dramatic turn of events during the final hands of the night when his four-bet shove with kings was paid off by Radu Pitic, who only had king-queen and lost the vast majority of his stack.
Bushell's rise to the top of the leaderboard culminated in level 16 when the Brit flopped a set of fours and Georgios Vrakas was unable to lay down pocket aces for an overpair. Second-placed Anzio won the largest pot of the day after he scored a massive double through Italy's Christian Bertu in a four-bet pot.
Other notables in prime position for a run to the nine-handed final table on Day 3 include Waheed Ashraf, Nicola Angelini, Onur Unsal, Jason Wheeler, Georgios Tsouloftas, Sergiu Covrig, and Marek Blasko.
The de facto defending champion Volkan Alkan - who topped the April edition in a field of 648 entries - is also still in the mix with a stack of 340,000. Likewise, former WSOP Circuit King's Main Event winner Andrea Ricci has 261,000 at his disposal.
Those who came up short of surviving another day were the likes of Tom Orpaz, Emil Bise, Kully Sidhu, William Kassouf, Ori Hasson, Matous Skorepa, Antoine Vranken, Dalibor Dula, and Vangelis Kaimakamis. Argentina's Maria Lampropulos was also a high-profile casualty of the day but she earned redemption in the early morning hours after topping a field of 155 entries in the €1,100 Bounty Hunter ring event. She defeated King's regular Yehuda Cohen in heads-up for a payday of €24,694 and additional 2022 WSOP Europe €10,350 Main Event ticket.
The same highly sought-after entry will also be awarded to the top 12 finishers in the WSOP Circuit €1,700 Main Event as well. However, until then, it's still a long way to go and the money bubble dynamics will go into effect when Day 3 kicks off at 2pm local time on Monday, October 10, 2022.
Stay tuned right here on PokerNews and on the King's Resort Twitch channel for the conclusion of the tournament in the following two days.

There were no further eliminations in the final two hands of the night and the final 84 players are bagging up their chips. Full counts and a recap of today's action are to follow.
A raise to 55,000 was in front of Renat Bohdanov on the button and Radu Pitic then squeezed to 190,000 out of the big blind. It had folded back to Bohdanov who pushed all-in and Pitic asked for a count.
The shove was for 496,000 and Pitic had that covered by a small margin only. A crowd gathered around the table and Andrea Ricci eventually called the clock on Pitic, who did call during the last few seconds of his 30-second countdown.
Renat Bohdanov:
Radu Pitic:
There were audible gasps in the crowd when the cards were revealed and Bohdanov held up on a runout to claim a seven-figure stack to his name.

Antonio Crocetta raised to 27,000 and then faced the three-bet shove by Danielle Noja in the small blind for what appeared to be 170,000. The call followed as both tabled their cards.
Danielle Noja:
Antonio Crocetta:
"I didn't want to spend more time with you anyways but could have picked a nicer guy to give the chips to," Aussie Noja joked.
His dominated kicker failed to connect on the board and the third-last hand of the night brought the field down to 84 hopefuls.

Just prior to the final three hands of the night, Andreas Chalkiadakis was all-in and at risk from the button. Two players were still active on the flop on which Narcis Nedelcu bet 40,000 from under the gun and Alexandru Alman called.
The followed on the turn and Nedelcu bet for another 50,000, forcing out Alman.
"Because I like you," Nedelcu said with a big smile on the face and flashed the .
"I gonna kiss you if I win this one," Andreas Chalkiadakis said as he tabled the . The ace-high was good even after the
river and the Greek indeed walked over to Nedelcu and embraced him. "Now you are my friend, too," he joked.

Down to the last ten minutes in the level and 85 players still in the mix, the clock has been stopped and the final three hands of the night were drawn. Since the tournament is so close to the money bubble, these final three hands will essentially be played in hand-for-hand mode to avoid any costly mishaps.

Table 108 lost two players in quick succession in Clayde Terlaan and "Onkel Otto". A new big stack emerged there as well in Samuel Tebege but he wasn't directly involved in the last showdown.
Milad Izadmousa raised to 22,000 in the hijack and then called the shove by "Onkel Otto" for 128,000 in the cutoff.
"Onkel Otto":
Milad Izadmousa:
The board brought no help to the dominated pair as the next elimination brought the field closer to the bubble.
