Today is a big day at The Festival Series Nottingham at Dusk Till Dawn as not only has the £450 Main Event progressed to its second day already in the money but today is also the day that the two-day The Hendon Mob €120 Championship kicks off both of its opening flights.
The Main Event attracted 609 entries to generate a £236,292 prize pool. A total of 91 players bagged stacks into Day 2 with Carlo Solazzo finding two bags thus collecting a min-cash of £800 already on the stack not being brought forward.
Michael O'Brien leads the way with 4,120,000 in chips with Marian Dumitrache (3,565,000), Ali Ayub (3,420,000), and Satnam Sandhu (3,045,000) also bringing in more than 3 million to Day 2. Just behind this group is Sascha Manns with 2,965,000 in chips. Manns appeared at back-to-back Main Event final tables in both The Festival Series Tallinn in the summer and The Festival Series Bratislava in the autumn and now is looking for a trifecta with a cherry on top with a victory which comes with a £42,500 top prize.
