Pawel Wojciechowski, who won his first WSOP bracelet in the Bounty Hunter Opener a few days ago, is in the hunt for another piece of gold jewelry and begins the day inside the top ten with 939,000. Other top stacks include backgammon champion and bracelet winner Zdenek Zizka (831,000), Georgios Tsouloftas (818,000), Pascal Pflock (659,000), two-time bracelet winner Lukas Zaskodny (617,000), and 2023 WSOP Paradise runner-up Michael Sklenicka (600,000).
Martin Kabrhel is sure to liven up the field as he starts with 582,000, while 2022 Main Event finalist Aaron Duczak (318,000), Cheng Zhao (254,000), and Ran Ilani (250,000) are further down the leaderboard.
A total of 419 players entered over two starting flights, building a prize pool of €870,000. The official payouts should be announced shortly after play begins. The action picks up on Level 15 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and a 12,000 big blind ante, and levels will be 40 minutes long. The schedule calls for play to go down to a winner today, and with nearly 100 players still battling for the bracelet, it should be a marathon until a champion is crowned.
