The SPPC Main Event has just wrapped up flight 1H, and after long hours of battling for a seat in Day 2, it was Yousef Mahmud who secured the chip leader position after a tough bubble, bagging 1,455,000.
During today’s action, flight 1I also played out and generated a total of 387 entries, while flight 1J started recently and currently has 80 players in contention.
By midday we already knew, as is tradition, that the poker community had completely smashed the 250,000€ guarantee into pieces, meaning we will certainly be playing for much more.
The Highroller event drew a total of 186 entries, creating a prize pool of 63,240€. The final table lineup will be known in the early morning hours, and the schedule for Saturday can be found below.
We look forward to seeing you!

15:45 Thin value
On the river Jx 5x Tx 8x 9x the pot was 17,000 and Szymon bet 2,000. His opponent thought for about two minutes and eventually called with Ax Kx. That of course wasn’t enough against Kx Qx, and Szymon stacked up a bit more.

On the flop Ax Jx Jx, the pot was around 17,000. Yosef bet 9,500 from EP. All of his opponents folded one after another. Yosef put on a sad face, but with a laugh revealed Jx Jx.

Dealer Gábor decided not to eliminate anyone, which became reality after the board 5x 8x 9x 6x 7x, as everyone completed a straight.
14:40 Sime Nakikj double up
