Welcome to Day 2 of The Big Wrap �2,350 Main Event
After two live Day 1s and a starting day on the virtual felts of partypoker, a field of 369 entries has emerged in the biggest Pot-Limit Omaha festival of the year in Europe. Once again the King's Casino and Resort is hosting The Big Wrap and the flagship event of the festival is the �2,350 Main Event, which comes with a guaranteed prize pool of �1,000,000.
So far, the two flights in Europe's biggest poker arena have witnessed 12 levels of 40 minutes each and there are 164 players left in contention. However, that number is certain to increase as 15 players won their seats for Day 2 in last night's live satellite at King's and will enter with 25 big blinds at 2,000/4,000. Another 10 tickets are currently up for grabs in the last chance turbo satellite which gathered a field of 62 entries.
Leading the field into Day 2 is Sergey Verkhoturov, who is the only player above a million in chips thus far and will return with a stack of 1,070,000. He is followed by Day 1b chip leader Besim Hot (720,000) and Veton Raka (702,000). Other big stacks and notables include partypoker online qualifier Anton Morgenstern (535,000), Sameer Khurana (430,000), Umberto Vitagliano (418,000), Robert Cowen (410,000), Maksim Shuts (380,000) and Pavel Novotny (369,000).
Two players bagged up more than once including King's regular The Talk (352,000) and Gisle Olsen (164,000), while partypoker ambassador Bertrand Grospellier will return with a stack of 144,000.
The PLO action is set to continue at 2 p.m. local time in the King's Casino arena and the registration and re-entry period remains open for the first two levels of 40 minutes. Once the field size is set, the level duration will increase to 60 minutes each for the remainder of the event.
The penultimate tournament day is expected to reach and burst the money bubble with frantic action at the start during the re-entry period. Make sure to tune back in regularly right here on PokerNews to find out who showcases their PLO skills at the poker tables in Rozvadov.
