Day 1b of the event is set for Tuesday, November 22nd. Surviving players will compete for three more days from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25 until a winner is crowned.
Last year, Finland's Jussi Nevanlinna outlasted a 291-entry field to win the exclusive winner's plate, Skullcandy headphones and a first-place payout of €300,000.
Two years prior to Nevanlinna's win, the title was kept on home soil. Dutch poker pro Ruben Visser emerged victorious against 2011 MCOP Main Event champion David Boyaciyan to win the top prize of €225,000 as part of a three-way final table deal in 2014. In 2013, Dutch poker player Noah Boeken claimed the €306,821 top prize in that year's Main Event.
We'll keep you up to date the entire day on all the latest developments in the Main Event and, every now and then, we'll take a look at the €25,000 Super High Roller that started yesterday. The biggest buy-in event ever on Dutch soil attracted a field of 12 players with registration open till start of play today.
