After 19 levels of poker action, Day 1a of Event #3: €1,350 NLH Mini Main Event wrapped up in the early hours of the morning on Tuesday, November 23 in Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort in Rozvadov.

A total of 321 player registered for the first starting flight in the third gold bracelet event of the 2021 World Series of Poker Europe, which added €385,200 into the prize pool. The tournament has a guarantee of €600,000 and with over half of that already met, along with two more Day 1's to play out, it is heavily expected that figure will be eclipsed.

Cristinel Costin bagged the Day 1a chip lead with a stack of 1,750,000. Sirzat Hissou (1,450,000), Rolf van Brug (1,415,000), Omid Novin (1,250,000) and Andras Balogh (1,177,000) round out the top five biggest stacks advancing to the next stage.

Notables such as 2019 WSOPE Main Event Winner Jack Sinclair, Ali Amelipour and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Martin Kabrhel were unable to make Day 2.

PokerNews comes back to King's Resort for Day 1b which starts at 4 p.m. CET on Tuesday, November 23. Be sure to stick around for all the updates from the WSOPE.
