The 2017 World Series of Poker International Circuit at the King's Casino Rozvadov is in full swing with several WSOP Circuit rings already being awarded and the �5,300 High Roller has kicked off yesterday. A field of 31 entries including two re-entries emerged thus far after nine levels of 45 minutes each, and 22 hopefuls bagged up chips for Day 2.
Pavel Plesuv held onto the top spot with 166,700 despite a late surge by Ognjen Sekularac (162,100) while Dutchman Sander van Wesemael enters Day 2 with 133,100.

The late registration in Europe's biggest poker arena remains open for the first two levels of the day as of 4 p.m. local time and action recommences with level 10 and blinds of 600-1,200 with a running ante of 200. Furthermore, a single re-entry remains available for all players except Aviv Meiri and Fahredin Mustafov, and among those expected to likely join is also Phil Hellmuth.
