As expected, the action for the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe has picked up and a busy night shift lies ahead in the King's Casino in Rozvadov for all poker enthusiasts from near and far. After 610 entries in total throughout the first four starting days, Day 1E of Event #1: €550 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em is already underway with more than 300 entries. The evening flight is poised to be even bigger than that to put the event on track to surpass the guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000.
Day 1F will kick off at 6 p.m. local time and a total of 18 levels of 30 minutes each are scheduled, all participants receive 25,000 in chips. The registration and single re-entry period remain open for the first 10 levels and the top 15% of the field will receive a portion of the Day 1 prize pool. In each of the previous flights, 10% or fewer players bagged up chips and 51 hopefuls punched their ticket for Day 2 thus far.
