Day 1bc Completed
Day 1b and Day 1c of the WSOP International Circuit Main Event has come to an end on a long day in Holland Casino Rotterdam. By the time the registration period was closed in both flights, there were 365 entries collected today. There were 278 entries on Day 1b and 87 on Day 1c which was the turbo version of the starting flight. Together with the 130 entries on Day 1a, this means that there were 495 entries in total, crushing the €250,000 guaranteed prize pool. The exact prize pool details will be announced on Day 2.
Claiming the Day 1b chip lead is Fadi Ghabour from the United States with 396,500 in chips. Ghabour is originally from Egypt but is currently living in Boston. Ghabour got most of his chips when he doubled through Terry Jordon with kings versus jacks in one of the last hands of the night. Ghabour is followed by Orhan Ates. Ates fired two bullets in the High Roller earlier today but left that field without cashing. Luckily for him, he was more successful in the Main Event as he bagged 327,000 in chips. Pim Gieles closes out the Day 1b podium with 256,500 in chips.

But not everyone managed to make it through Day 1b safely. Players like bracelet winners Mykhailo Gutyi and Albert Hoekendijk fell during the day, this was also the case for players like recent WSOP Circuit Ring winner Thomas Hofmann, Raoul Refos, Govert Metaal, Sonny Franco, and many more. Most of them jumped into Day 1c to try their luck there.
Day 1c ended with 42 players bagging up for the night with Andrea Ricci in the chip lead with 182,500, followed by Gert-Jan Kars, Jonas Ten Cate, Antoine Vranken, and [Removed:193]. Other notable players making it through include Nick van der Marel, Micha Hoedemaker, Nikolay Ponomarev, Sonny Franco, Gary Hasson, WSOPC High Roller winner Alexandre Reard, and Joris Ruijs.
