Day 2 of WSOPC Liechtenstein Main Event Kicks Off at 1 p.m.
The CHF1,500 Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein moves into Day 2 today inside the Grand Casino Liechtenstein, with the remaining hopefuls now in the money as they continue their quest for a the biggest first-place prize of the festival, and the coveted WSOPC ring.
A total of 127 players successfully bagged up chips across the five opening flights. However, Paul-Adrian Covaciu and Alain Ferrari each qualified twice and will therefore take a min-cash for their smaller stacks, returning today with only their largest stacks. As a result, 125 players will be seated when cards get in the air.
Leading the field is Lulei Hu, who brings 1,162,000 into the day, good for 145 big blinds when play resumes. Germany’s Semih Retzep sits close behind with 1,110,000, while Romania’s Mihai Andrei-Munteanu rounds out the top three with 875,000.
