Christian Stratmeyer

It's official! The 2021 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event is the largest ever. With 688 entries, it has surpassed the 2011 WSOPE Main Event field of 593 after an extraordinary Day 2.

Leading the survivors appears to be German Christian Stratmeyer with over 1.3 million chips, but there are several others who bagged seven-figure stacks including Jovan Kenjic, Luuk Gieles, Ian Bradley and GGPoker Qualifier Dawid Smolka.

Day 2 Recap

With seven levels played, and late registration open for five of them, there was always going to be action early. And so it proved with the likes of two-time bracelet-winner Martin Kabrhel and former champion Jack Sinclair eliminated early, with neither adding to their tally in this year's Main Event.

As the levels drew on, big stacks began to emerge such as Bradley and Dario Quattrucci and by the time late registration closed, a new record of 688 had been set, confirming it as the largest WSOP Europe Main Event in history and generating a prize pool of €6,536,000.

Just 104 players will cash in this year's WSOPE Main Event, with the min-cash €16,500 while the first-place prize is a whopping €1,276,712.

Sunday, December 5, 2021 9:55 PM Local Time

Patrik Zidek opened to 13,000 from under the gun and Leonid Yanovski three-bet to 46,000 out of the small blind, which Zidek called. The     flop brought a bet worth 20,000 by Yanovski and a call.

After the   turn, Yanovski opted to check-call for 60,000 and checked again the   river. Zidek now moved all-in and Yanovski tanked for two minutes before asking for a count. The shove was for 193,000 and the clock was called on Yanovski, no call followed.
