Higgs Bricks Out

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Three players headed to a flop with the board reading {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and around 3,500 in the middle. Michail Tastanis checked from middle position and Sam Higgs tossed in a bet of 1,900 from the cutoff. Giorgio Donzelli called on the button and Tastanis got out of the way.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and Higgs checked this time. Donzelli splashed in a bet of 3,000 and Higgs stuck around to see the {8-Spades} on the river. Both players tapped the table and Higgs showed {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a missed flush draw. Donzelli tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for two pair and was awarded the pot.

It will be an action-packed day on the tournament floor of the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe at King's Resort in Rozvadov. While many other events will also be taking place, Event #7: €1,100 Turbo Bounty Hunter will have plenty of action on its own. By the day's end, there will likely be another WSOP gold bracelet handed out and it will be a sprint to get there.

In 2018, Mykhailo Gutyi captured his first-ever WSOP crown with a win in the wee hours of the morning. Gutyi topped a field of 387 entries in an €800 buy-in event to take home €61,299. After about 14 hours of poker, it turned into an all-in shootout where Gutyi found himself on the right side of some good fortune and defeated Florian Sarnow heads-up.

The price has been raised this year and it also comes with a €200,000 guaranteed prizepool. Players will receive €300 from the prizepool for each player they eliminate but they can not be redeemed until after registration closes. The action is slated to get underway at 4 p.m. local time and play down until a winner is crowned.

Each player will receive 25,000 starting chips with the blinds beginning at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. The levels will be 20 minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every six levels. There will be no dinner break today in the tournament's best efforts to get things wrapped up in a single day. An unlimited number of re-entries will be allowed with late registration closing after 12 levels at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Follow along with the PokerNews live reporting team for all of the updates throughout the event as we look to see who will be the next WSOP champion.
