2:40 Not much happening in the Main Event

However, Svein decided today he’ll hit the night turbo. In the final three, Svein is the uncompromising chipleader, and what happens next is surely written in the stars.

2:30 The end of flight 1B is approaching

It seems that the player who will take the chipleader bonus of 1,500€, or the 750€ for second place and 350€ for third, will become clear in the next few minutes. After Matúš Kučera busted out with Ax 3x against Ax Kx of his opponent, the turn brought a three, but the river hit an uncompromising Kx, and Matúš was eliminated. We are now two eliminations away from the end of day 1B.
