WSOPC: Eight Finalists to Battle for Main Event Gold Ring Today, Volodymyr Kokoulin Leads the Pack

Article cover

The main event of the autumn stop at WSOPC Rozvadov attracted players with a coveted championship ring and a million-euro guarantee, which ultimately remained untouched after 544 entries. This was certainly a relief for the 83 ITM players, among whom the final 24 returned to the tables yesterday. They faced a brisk five-hour semifinal, at the end of which the final eight was formed.

If you missed the live broadcast of the day, you can catch up here:

Entering the battle for the €165,000 prize, Ukrainian player Volodymyr Kokoulin holds a notable chiplead. However, he will face tough competition from two German players — experienced Stefano Aprile and Fabian Felix Wolf — as well as the local duo of Ondřej Már and Zdeněk Žižka. Completing the final eight are Taras Sopotnytskyi, Claudio Di Giacomo, and Ivan Kolesnikov.
