The penultimate day of the 2022 World Series of Poker International Circuit €1,700 Main Event will kick off at 2pm local time with 84 players out of 748 entries remaining. Almost immediately, the money bubble will be looming in the poker arena of the King's Resort in Rozvadov as only the top 80 finishers earn a portion of the €1,101,430 prize pool.
A min-cash is worth €3,395 while reaching the nine-handed final table comes with a payday of at least €16,465. The latter is the goal for the night as Day 3 is scheduled to play down to the official live-streamed final table. This could certainly turn into a lengthy affair with the blinds resuming in level 19 at blinds of 6,000-12,000 and a running ante of 12,000, the current average stands at more than 37 big blinds.
Six players have accumulated seven-figure stacks so far and the UK's Matthew Bushell leads the pack with 1,208,000, followed closely by Eden Anzio (1,183,000), and Mirza Veletanlic (1,147,000). Czech WSOP Main Event finalist Vojtech Ruzicka, WSOP Europe bracelet winner Renat Bohdanov, and Dawid Smolka also return in the top ten alongside Lars Kamphues.

The last player to win a WSOP Circuit Main Event at the King's Resort is also still on track for back-to-back victories as well. Volkan Alkan (340,000) topped 648 entries back in April 2022 . Another former champion at this very venue is Italy's Andrea Ricci, who defeated 911 other entries in September 2021.
All levels will last 60 minutes each and it is expected that at least nine levels are required to reach the conclusion for the night. There will be two bubbles on Day 3 as not only the money prizes are up for grabs. The top 12 finishers also receive an entry to Day 1a of the 2022 WSOP Europe €10,350 Main Event in November 2022 as well.
All the action for the final two days can be found right here on PokerNews. The live stream on the King's Resort Twitch page will also be available as well on a security delay of 30 minutes.
