At 4 pm King’s Casino hosted Day 1 of Event #11 Pot-Limit Omaha for the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE). The initial flight being lit with several known players, each hoping to grab the prestigious gold bracelet which comes in with grand prize money.

Initially, only 16 players took the seat but after few levels of late registration, the total field enhanced to 271 entries, each chipping in €2,200 buy-in. The event crushed last year’s record of 100 entries and eventually, the guaranteed prize pool of €200,000 doubled up to more than €520,000 to be shared among the top finishers. Germany’s Anton Morgenstern amassed the largest stack of 726,000 chips followed by Leonid Yanovsky with 461,000 chips.

Morgenstern lost his first chance in the 5th level and re-entered the tournament to become the chip leader of Day 1.
