The magnificent Gran Via casino Madrid is ready for Day 1c of the Pokercode Festival Main Event. 103 entrants registered yesterday for Day 1a and 92 in Day 1b Fast. Plenty more, as well as re entry player, will jump into the field today for Day 1c and Day 1d Fast later on.
On Day 1A, 16 players qualified for the next stage of the tournament and German player Frederik Thiemer ended the day with the top stack of 852,000 chips from his 50,000 starting stack. In Day 1b Fast, 14 players joined them for Day 2 with Jose Osorio leading (874,000 chips).
Like yesterday, the flights will end once 15% of the field is reached, all qualified for Day 2 and in the money. Unlimited re entries are possible during the first twelve 30-minute levels. There will be 15-minute breaks after Level 4 and 8, with a 60-minute dinner break after Level 12.
Pokercode founders Fedor Holz and Matthias Eibinger are expected to be in the field today as well as many Pokercode friends and fans. This Main Event edition will set a new record field, easily breaking the 253-entrants figures reached in the first edition in Bratislava in 2021.
