The second bracelet event of this year's WSOPE was the affordable €350 King's Million, which attracted players with a million-euro guarantee. The event recorded a total of 3,229 entries during its opening days, from which the top 295 players advanced to yesterday's round. They faced a tough, long day, which ended with the final sixteen being unveiled.
Day 2 kicked off with high intensity, eliminations came swiftly, and after just four hours, more than half of the field was at the cashier. Play ended shortly after midnight when Slovakia’s EPT champion Ján Bendík (who earned €4,600) became the bubble boy for the final day, finishing in 17th place. Bendík started the WSOPE festival on a strong note, finishing as runner-up in the first bracelet event just two days earlier.
When it came to bagging and counting stacks, one name stood out - Germany's Sarah Link packed the biggest stack (63bb). As the final day begins, she is followed by Vagke Sagkinian from Greece (60bb) and Michal Szczeblewski from Poland (58bb).
