Day 2 of Event #5: €550 NLH COLOSSUS Resumes with 308 Players Returning at 10 a.m.
The four starting flights of Event #5: €550 No-Limit Hold'em COLOSSUS have come to an end and now all remaining players will gather on the felt for Day 2 starting at 10 a.m. local time at King's Resort. There was a total of 2,478 entries and only 308 players still have a shot at the World Series of Poker Europe gold bracelet.
Coming into Day 2, Martin Kabrhel holds a large chip lead after an impressive showing on Day 1d. Kabrhel is well-known around the King's Resort, having won two previous bracelets in this very same venue. Kabrhel will enter the day with 980,000 chips with his next closest competitor being Nawroz Gaff with 658,000 chips.
All the players returning today have already secured themselves at least a min-cash of €895 with the remaining prize pool yet to be announced. The guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 was easily achieved yesterday when the 1,000 player cap was reached before late registration even closed.
The action is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with the blinds resuming on Level 19 at 4,000/8,000 and an 8,000 big blind ante. The levels will increase to 40 minutes for Day 2 with a 15-minute break after every three levels. The goal is to play down to a final table but there will be a hard stop at 10 p.m. due to the government restrictions.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the live updates throughout the day and going forward.
