Welcome to Day 1b of the 2015 WSOP Circuit Rozvadov Main Event
The highly anticipated €1,650 Main Event of the World Series of Poker Circuit stop at the King's Casino in Rozvadov will be heading into its second starting day in one hour from now at 14:00 local time.
The flagship tournament of the festival near the border to Germany is expecting a bumper field to compete for the share of the guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 with participants from near and far.
Similar to yesterday's Day 1a, a total of 12 levels of 45 minutes are scheduled and each participant can reenter the competition once throughout the day. Even players that bagged up chips last night can rejoin as well and then carry over the bigger stack into Day 2 on Sunday.
Day 1a attracted a field of 251 entries including 16n reentries and 95 of them bagged up chips with EPT7 Vienna champion Michael Eiler taking the overnight lead on 248,600, closely followed by 2015 WSOP bracelet winner Paul Michaelis (241,500) and Steven Stephan (235,100). Other notables with above-average stacks include Vadim Markushevski (226,100), Aleksandr Nemcov (212,000), Rozvadov circuit ring winner Miltiadis Kyriakides (134,600) and 2015 WSOP bracelet winner Vasili Firsau (130,800).
As of 18:00 local time there is a scheduled feature table without hole cards as well and the PokerNews live reporting team will be there to provide all key hands until a winner is crowned on Monday.
