Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, in a picturesque setting, lies the popular poker hotspot – Grand Casino Liechtenstein. Previously making a mark on the poker map with successful series like the Wolf Millionaire and WPT Prime, this year the casino has blazed its own trail with its Grand Casino Poker Series, offering guarantees of 300,000 and 500,000 CHF.
The series is currently culminating in the GCPS Million event, guaranteeing players one million francs for a buy-in of 1,100 CHF. This massive prizepool will begin to be divided this Sunday during day 2, concluding with the lineup for Monday's final day.
A Quarter of the Guarantee Already Collected
So far, three flights - 1A, 1B, and 1C - have taken place, bringing in 259 entries and accumulating 251,200 CHF in the prizepool, about a quarter of the promised million guarantee. Organizers are certainly anticipating a significant influx of players as the weekend approaches, as evidenced by previous GCPS events.
Flights 1D through 1H are scheduled from November 13th to 15th, providing players with five more chances to secure a spot in Day 2. A special promotion awaits all participants in today's flight 1D, starting at 16:00. The top five players at its conclusion will receive a chipleader bonus, each earning a reward of 8,000 CHF!
Belmondo: The Sole Millionaire
Despite the lower total number of entries, exceptional performances were witnessed in the early days. Particularly notable was the player known as Belmondo1 (CH), who was the only one to amass a million-chip stack. Trailing closely are three other locals: Guerrero80 (CH) with 880,000, Nexo F.Xela (CH) with 813,000, and Daniele Lunario (CH) with 779,000 chips.
