With two flights taking place over the last couple of days, Day 1c and Day 1d of the WSOP Main Event on GGPoker produced 26 players who will come back for the Day 2 action on August 30th.
Day 1c closed registration with 110 players in the lobby, but by then, plenty of big names had hit the rail, forced to re-enter on one of the other 21 Day flights if they want a share of the $25 million prizepool.
Players such as GPI legend Alex Foxen, Pokercode co-founder and Austrian Super High Roller Matthias Eibinger, Christopher Kruk, Seth Davies and Mikita Badziakouski will all have to try again if they want to make the next stage of this exclusive GGPoker event.
With just 19 players making the cut from Day 1c, those were led at the end of the day’s 15 half-hour levels by Karim Khayat, who had 656,260 in chips. Others such as Alan Schein (455,015), former Poker Masters winner Ali Imsirovic (444,538), Stefan Schillhabel (220,985) and Norwegian tournament specialist Preben Stokkan (357,743) all made it through with decent stacks too.
