Day 1B of the 2018 WSOPE Main Event Starts at 12 P.M.
The second of two starting days of Event #10: €10,350 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event will start at 12 p.m. local time at the King's Resort. Yesterday's flight had a total of 140 entries and only 73 survived Day 1A. Players that have busted out of the first flight have the option to reenter the tournament on Day 1B, or on Day 2 as registration for the tournament is still open until the end of the dinner break after the fourth level on Day 2.
Marco Slacanac ended Day 1A as the chip leader after he bagged 544,300 in chips. Vladimir Geshkenbein (500,000) and Alex Foxen (411,700) are second and third in the chip counts. Players started with 100,000 and the average chip stack at the end of Day 1A was 191,781. The players today will play the same seven 90-minute levels that the players on Day 1A played. They will start in the level 100/300 without an ante. The ante will come into play in the third level of the day, which will be 200/400 with a big blind ante of 400.
Last year's tournament was won by Marti Roca de Torres. He took home over one million Euros after defeating 528 other players. The winner of this year's event will take home the coveted gold bracelet and the biggest share of the €5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
