• The Banco Casino Championship with a 200,000€ guarantee attracted a total of 103 players from various corners of the world for Day 1B. After a long night, the chip leader was Avraham Sisso, who advances to Sunday’s Day 2 with a stack of 1,108,000.

    BCC continues today with Flight 1C at 16:00 and Flight 1D – Turbo at 22:00.

In this qualifier, we will distribute at least 5 tickets. We look forward to seeing you!

    Chipcounts 1B:

  • 6:00 Sandor Leitenroth becomes the bubble boy of Flight 1B

    Sandor shoved his short stack with pocket eights, and Regos re-shoved with Ax Qx. After the board Ax Kx 5x Kx 9x, Flight 1B comes to an end.

    5:50 Peter Regos double up

  • 5:35 Hand-for-hand play begins!

    Tamas Sellei had only 19,000 left and was in the big blind. Krylov, Častvan, and Elbaz all limped in. On the flop Ks 5s Kh, Elbaz bet 30,000 from the small blind, Krylov quickly folded, and Častvan called even faster. On the turn 2c, Častvan bet 100,000, and an irritated Elbaz folded. Sellei revealed Jx 9x, but Častvan held Kx 9x. After an irrelevant river, we proceed to hand-for-hand play.

    Sisso opened to 31,000, and Lubo called from the big blind. The flop Tx 8x 2x was checked. On the turn Ah, Lubo bet 15,000, and Avraham called. The river brought a ten, which was checked again, and Lubo was the first to throw his cards into the muck. Thus, there was no showdown.

    5:15 Not much action

    The upcoming hand-for-hand phase, combined with fatigue, has slowed the pace of the game. Few flops are being seen, and the first player to bet usually takes the pot.
