Sander van Wesemael Bags the Lead After Day 1C
The three starting flights have all come to an end in Event #1: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'Em MONSTER STACK at the World Series of Poker Europe. Sander van Wesemael bagged the largest stack after Day 1C and will head into Day 2 with the chip lead bringing 323,500 chips with him.
Van Wesemael is coming off an impressive summer in Europe, capturing the title in three €330 PokerStars Cup events in a row. His largest cash came at the event in Barcelona where he took home €127,000. Van Wesemael made a deep run in the WSOP International Circuit Main Event in Rozvadov but bowed in 38th place. He will be looking to add to his already impressive $541,220 career earnings dating back to the end of 2014.
There were a total of 306 entries that took to the felt on Day 1C but only 64 were able to find a bag at the end of the day. Valentin Vornicu was one of those, bagging the second largest stack of 296,500. Vornicu, now calling California home, has over $1,000,000 in live tournament earnings. His largest came just one year ago when he finished in 23rd place at the WSOP Main Event for $269,430. Giovanni Petroni rounds out the top three with 239,000 after he sent Phil Hellmuth packing earlier in the day.
Some other familiar names to make it through to Day 2 include Scott Stewart (207,500), Konstantinos Tsirakidis (178,000), Georgios Zisimopoulos (102,500), Allen Kessler (95,500), Ivo Donev (72,000), and Dominik Desset (47,000).
Many notables sat down for their third bullet today but were still unable to make anything happen. John Racener, Alex Foxen, Kristen Bicknell, Kenny Hallaert, Chris Ferguson, Jeff Lisandro, and Marc MacDonnell were a few to come up empty-handed. Bertrand Grospellier, Phil Hellmuth, Roberto Romanello, Brandon Cantu, and Jan Timo Jobmann were also sent to the rail throughout the day.
Martin Kabrhel entered the field rather early compared to usual, and he had a rollercoaster kind of day. At some points, his chips were moving more than his mouth which is also uncharacteristic. Kabrhel found a massive double up with pocket fours versus ace-king when the flop came . Soon after, however, Kabrhel's pocket aces got cracked by Konstantinos Tsirakidis when Tsirakidis flopped a set of sevens. Kabrhel left the tournament area but not without leaving a few memorable comments behind.
There will be a total of 114 players returning on Sunday for Day 2 and the money bubble will be in everyone's eyes when the action resumes. With a total of 561 entries throughout the three starting flights, there will be a prizepool of €538,280 to battle for. There will be 85 places being paid, with a min-cash worth €1,592 and the eventual champion taking home €117,708.
The action will resume on Sunday at 2:00 P.M. local time inside the Poker Arena at King's Casino. Continue to follow along with the PokerNews live reporting team as we bring you all of the live updates from the tournament floor.
