If Day 1A of a poker tournament is an amuse-bouche then Day 1B is a hearty starter. A COMPLETE of 338 players elected to start out their Eureka6 Rozvadov adventure today, easily eclipsing the 219 who played yesterday.

The format, of course, was the same, 10 levels each 45 minutes in length. When they'd been completed just 132 players remained and it was Quentin Dellis who topped the lot. In the event you recognise the name this is because the Belgian final tabled UKIPT Dublin last month. He finished sixth on that occasion winning € 31,880.

Over 200,000 for Dellis

By the time play ended today 27 year old poker professional had built his 25,000 starting stack the entire way as much as 201,100 and is the one player so far to wreck the 200,000 chip barrier. Dellis was playing for 5 to 6 years, professionally for the last three. The bad news for other players is that after Dellis cashes he makes the overall table. He's got seven live cashes to his name and the bottom finish of any of them in sixth.

Palovic powered through

Whilst Dellis was the one player to wreck the 200,000 chip mark quite a lot of other players ran up big stacks. The likes of Martin Ilavsky (174,100), Jean-Marc Jelk (168,100), Jonas Lauck (159,300) Amir Mozaffarian (157,300) and Dag Palovic (132,600) will all be well placed when Day 2 starts tomorrow at 2pm CET.

Martin Kabrhel

There were also quite a lot of big names some of the 206 players who busted out during today's action. Martin Kabrhel, who sits second at the Czech Republic all-time money list, couldn't get anything going today. Paul Michaelis, who has a WSOP bracelet to his name, got his hands on a stack but couldn't hold onto it and Antonin Duda (two EPT Main Event final tables) would've given anything to construct a stack. He couldn't and likewise busted out.

They'll perhaps try their luck within the turbo Day 1C which has just started. In the event that they do they are going to well find themselves on the same table as: Martin Mulsow, Anthony Ghamrawi, Stefan Raab,Maria Lampropoulos, Marc Radgen or Mattias Ruzzi.

That's it for Day 1B, you'll atone for all today's action here and look at end of day chip counts here. Day 1C will wrap up around 2am CET and we'll bring you a recap of the general flight at that point.
