The WSOPC festival in Rozvadov, following nine ring events, presented the Main Event with a €1,500 buy-in, guaranteeing a million euros. After the initial two days only garnered 183 entries, all eyes were on yesterday's final two flights, tasked with meeting the guarantee.
Day 1C featured 40-minute levels and was followed by a turbo-charged Day 1D in the evening. Flight 1C was the only one to surpass 200 entries, with 216, while Day 1D added another 145 entries. Altogether, the total number of entries stopped at 544, falling short of fulfilling the million-euro guarantee.
Kohkehstani Sets the Pace in 1C
Ukrainian player Khossien Kohkehstani shone yesterday, turning his 50,000 starting stack into 1,115,000 chips, grabbing the overall lead. Close behind was Italian Claudio Di Giacomo, who ended Day 1 with an 886,000 stack.
The mentioned 83 players will reconvene at high noon to continue play with blinds at 4k/8k/8k. The journey to crown the champion is still long, with Day 3 scheduled for tomorrow, culminating in the Tuesday final.
