Dia 1 Iniciado
The first five-figure buy-in bracelet event of the 2023 World Series of Poker Europe has arrived. Event #8: No Limit Hold ‘Em GGMillion€ bears a hefty entry fee of €25,000, but the guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000, the same guarantee of the weekly online poker tournaments on GGPoker this event is named after, is sure to attract high rollers from all over the globe to travel to King’s Resort in Rozvadov.
Tournaments with a €25,000 price point, although under varying names, have been a staple of the WSOPE for some time, and players that have picked up a bracelet in these events include Jonathan Duhamel, Niall Farrell, and Michael Addamo, with Paul Phua winning the most recent edition in 2022. He bested a final table on which, among others, Espen Jorstad, Daniel Negreanu, and Shaun Deeb had a seat, and received €482,433 and his first bracelet for his efforts.

Timothy Adams raised to 2,500 from the hijack and only Enzo Vito made the call, from the big blind. The flop of 4♠4♥9♥ saw Vito check to Adams, who continued for a bet of 2,000. Vito made the call and the 3♣ turn was dealt.
Vito now led for 4,000, and Adams threw in two T-5,000 chips. However, immediately after, he claimed to have just wanted to call. Vito was okay with Adams taking back the raise, and the floor was called over to make a ruling.
Eventually, it was ruled that Adams was allowed to make a call before the 10♠ river was checked by both players. Vito tabled A♣Q♦ for ace-high, but was bested by the pocket pair of Adams with 7♥7♣.

Ben Heath kicked off the action with a raise to 2,500 from under the gun. James Chen then made the call from the hijack, as did Tamas Admaszki from the big blind.
On the 5♠8♣6♦ flop, the action checked to Chen, who made a bet of 3,500. Both his opponents called and did so too when Chen upped the ante to 13,500 on the 4♠ turn.
The 9♦ river then completed the board and all players opted for a check. Admaszki showed 10♠8♠ for a pair of eights, but Heath tabled K♦7♦ for the winning straight as Chen mucked his cards.
