EPC Main Event 400,000€ GTD Day 1E

A total of 217 players registered for flight 1E, with 27 advancing to Day 2. After a swift bubble, Lajos Matyasi emerged as today's chip leader, bagging 1,126,000 for Day 2. In the Highroller event, 75 players registered, and we're still waiting for the winner's name. Flight 1F - Turbo produced 83 entries, with ten players making it to Day 2. Tomorrow awaits the most intense day yet, with flight 1G starting at 12:00, flight 1H at 17:00, and flight 1I - Turbo at 22:00. Nearly 200,000€ is still needed to meet the guarantee, so it's definitely worth considering participation.

1:15 Lajos Matyasi unexpectedly bursts the bubble and bags the chips

Matyasi opened, Oikonomidis re-jammed for approximately 320,000, and Kotowicz called for a similar amount.
