Grand Casino Liechtenstein has brought us WPT Prime Liechtenstein again this year, with the main event being called the Championship and guaranteeing CHF 1,000,000 at a buy-in of CHF 1,000 + CHF 100.
Players will be treated to a total of 5 opening flights, three of which have already been completed. That leaves us with the last two to be played today. The first flight, labeled 1D, will start at 12:00 and flight 1E is scheduled to start at 17:00.
Guarantee will not be a problem
The first three flights have already produced a total of 676 entries and only 12 percent of the field can advance at any time. There are already 86 players among the qualifiers and all of them have already secured ITMs.
Let's take a closer look at yesterday's pair of flights, and I'll start with Flight 1B, which brought 293 entries and 37 advancers. The chipleader position here went to well-known Czech player Josef Gulas Sr. who bagged up a stack of 1,206,000, making him the current overall chipleader.
