Welcome to Day 2 of the partypoker Championship Czech Main Event

Welcome back to the PokerListings coverage of the €500,000 guaranteed partypoker Championship (PPC) Czech €330 Main Event at the biggest poker room in Europe in King’s Resort. The €500,000 guarantee proved to be simply a placeholder with a banner crowd of 2,261 entries generating a tasty €644,385 prize pool.

The action is about to move onto Day 2 with all players already in the money with at least a €600 min-cash locked up. The payouts will move up quickly from there and will be shared as soon as they are made official by the tournament director.

Arian Kashi will likely be the chip leader to start the day after parlaying his initial 100,000 chip stack into a whopping mountain of 2,593,000 in chips. It is possible that someone else will become the chip leader to start the day with the Turbo Day 1h still underway.

Today will feature 40-minute blind levels, instead of the 30-minute levels featured throughout the majority of the live opening flights. Blinds will also be rolled back to Level 16 with blinds at 8,000/16,000 along with a big blind ante of 16,000. Both of these things combined allow players to enjoy a deeper structure than they would otherwise enjoy in other events around the world.

Day 2 is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 p.m., however, it is possible this could be pushed back slightly depending on how long the turbo opening flight lasts.

Main Event by the Numbers

*Day 1h survivors could be less depending on whether multiple people are eliminated during the final hand of the end-of-the-day bubble. Also of note is that players could have bagged multiple stacks. Therefore it is possible that less players will start Day 2.

In addition to both the final opening flight of the Main Event, along with Day 2 kicking off at 4:30 p.m., Sunday also features the PPC Czech €1,100 High Roller with an €80,000 guarantee starting at 6 p.m.
