Guillou Bags Winamax Poker Open Main Event Day 1c Chip Lead
The final flight of the Winamax Poker Open Main Event gathered 200 entries and by the end of it just 40 players remained, and it was a familiar one topping the chip counts.
Philippe Guillou finished third in the High Roller earlier this week, taking home €20,730. He bagged up not just the Day 1c chip lead, but will be the man to beat when play resumes at 12:00 p.m. local time.
Behind him comes Samuel Bovy (647,000) and then there is a big gap back to Darragh O'Sullivan (480,000), Marko Duric (450,000) and Bastien Laffeter (445,000).
There will be two more Winamax Team Pros in the field, bringing the total to nine. Adrian Mateos (167,000) and Guillaume Diaz (135,000) will be hoping to chip up soon and add another cash to their poker resumes.
Irish player Kevin Killeen (324,000) has over $1m in lifetime earnings but has never cashed a Winamax Poker Open Main Event here in Dublin and will be looking to for the first time having bagged a healthy 324,000.
There will be 261 players on Day 2 from a field of 1,389, with the bubble expected to burst midway through the day. Stay tuned to PokerNews
