Registration for the €10,350 WSOPE Main Event is now closed. The opening days of play brought the total number of entries to 768, bringing the prizepool to a nice €7,219,200. While the prizepool is a nice amount, it was not able to surpass last year's numbers. King's Resort will have to wait for the next record.
Yesterday was Day 2 of the WSOPE Main Event, with registration open until the end of Level 12. A few dozen players jumped in and managed to generate 140 more entries. This brought the total number of entries to 768. After two days of play, the chipleader is the runner-up of the 50K High Roller - Sirzat Hissou from Germany, who managed to accumulate 1,353,000 chips. There are still 185 players in contention for the bracelet.
We already know that the winner of the entire €10,350 Main Event will take home €1,300,000. There are 116 paid positions, so no one advancing to Day 3 is guaranteed to cash. However, we will definitely get closer to the paid positions today, with the smallest prize money being €20,900.
Day 3 kicks off at 12:00 with Level 15 - 4,000/8,000 + 8,000 big blind ante. The average stack is currently 413,000 chips, or 52 big blinds. You will also be able to follow the action during Day 3 via our livestream on our website.
