Day 1b of the Unibet Open Copenhagen attracted a field of 223 players. Together with the 152 that played on Day 1a, that made for a total of 376.

Day 1b got underway at exactly noon and a total of 9 one-hour levels were played. In the end Haci Bayram from Denmark collected the most chips, turning a 30,000 starting stack into 285,500.

A slate of big hands played out during the day, with Emma Wikberg getting it in with a set agains top pair and top kicker as one of the early highlights of the day. Tina Christensen, another Unibet Open regular, also doubled up early but in the end came up short and busted in the penultimate level of the day.

Two-time Unibet Open champion Mateusz Moolhuizen flew over from Barcelona for this tournament. He played there all week but couldn't pass on the chance to become the first 3-time champion and made his way to the sunny Danish capital to try his luck at another Unibet Open.

He initially did well, picking up pots left and right, but had a small setback losing king-queen to queens in a blind battle. A good call with second pair in a three-bet pot catapulted him back into safe territories but in one of the last hands of the day he lost a 200,000 pot with ace-king against aces and he ended the day with just 9,700 in chips, just 5 big blinds.

Another familiar face on the tournament circuit, Jorn Walthaus, also made attendance at the Unibet Open. The Dutchman, living in Bali these days, flew over to battle with the Nordics. He gathered 106,000 in chips.

As registration closed the prize pool was announced. A total of DKK 2,707,200 (€363,595) is to be divided with the winner walking away DKK 525,000 (€70,514) richer. 53 players will be in the money, meaning a little over 14 percent of the field is getting paid here in Copenhagen. No uproar was heard about that.

A total of 82 players survived Day 1b. Together with the 52 that survived Day 1a that makes for 134 players that start Day 2 tomorrow, 81 to the money. Play will get underway at noon local time again, with the goal to play down to a final table of 9. Whether that objective will be reached or not remains to be seen. PokerNews will be on the floor for continuing coverage of the Unibet Open Copenhagen.
