The CHF1,500 Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein continues today with Day 1b, the second of five starting flights, which gets underway at 12 p.m. Boasting a CHF1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, players will once again take their seats inside the Grand Casino Liechtenstein with 50,000 starting chips as they look to run up a stack and secure a spot in Day 2.
Day 1a attracted 109 entries, with 17 players bagging up their chips after 14 levels of play. Austria’s Samuel Klocker ended with 796,000 chips to hold the chip lead, followed by fellow Austrian Martin Hoertnagl on 627,000. Florian Gehbauer and Angelo Arossi rounded out the podium positions with 504,000 each.

Day 1b will follow the same structure as the opening flight, featuring 40-minute blind levels and late registration open through the end of Level 12, with players able to reenter as many times as they wish. The field will once again play down to roughly 15 percent, all of whom will bag up their chips and return for Day 2 already in the money.
Players who miss the daytime flight will have another opportunity later in the evening, as Day 1c, a turbo flight, gets underway at 8 p.m. with a faster-paced 20-minute blind structure.
The survivors from all five starting flights will combine for Day 2 on Sunday, March 8, where the official prize pool and payouts will be confirmed and the chase for a WSOP Circuit ring will continue.
