The last starting flight of this first event took place on Sunday, drawing the overall number of participants registering for participation to the staggering 1,116 people. Day 1d witnessed some 224 players making their way towards the seats which meant an additional boost of the overall prize pool of this first WSOP Circuit event.
There was one participant who managed to make it throughout all levels of the day with the largest chip count to his name and this was Ondrej Lon. The local player is familiar at King’s Casino for his previous poker accomplishments. His largest live poker winning came at the beginning of August when he played at the €220 No-Limit Hold’em – partypoker Grand Prix Main Event and became the champion bagging some €84,686 for his excellent performance.
Once this starting flight came to its conclusion, it became known that the overall prize pool has reached some €286,254.
David Taborsky was the overall chip leader commencing Day 2 with the largest chip stack of 698,500.
Final Table Action Brings More Excitement
Only the top 119 players were eligible for a cash payout for this event, as the minimum amount reached €644. Yoav Zilberman from Israel was the first participant to bag a cash prize from this event. This could be his motivation to make it all the way to the top in another of the upcoming poker events of the WSOP Circuit.
In the meantime, another Israeli player, Yoav Ram made it very close to the Final Table but failed to qualify for one of the seats. With his 11th position on the official leader board, Ram bagged some €3,306. What should be taken into account, is that the champion of this first event for this festival would lay their hands not only on the coveted by many Ring but also on some €53,938.
The chip leader at the end of the day was local player Josef Gulas who had some 7,380,000 in chips to his name, placing a significant gap between himself and the remaining nine participants taking their seats. From here on out it was only a matter of time before the eventual winner was crowned and Kabrhel succeeded in outplaying the remaining participants.
Runner-up position at the end of the day was claimed by the chip leader at the beginning of the day, as he could not defend his leading position. Gulas has to settle for the consolation prize of €32,805, which is a motivation enough for him to excel at some of the upcoming events.
