They’re playing down to 16 players tonight and there are now 24 players left in the field. A table redraw has just been done and they will play down to the last 16 players before play ends for the day.
The Festival Series founder is still in, buying beers for anyone who’s willing to join him in little refreshment. He just called over that he made the bluff of the century…but got caught and lost a 1.2m chip pot. Ouch!
The most notable player left in the field (apart from Franke) is Romanian Paul Adrian Covaciu, who has over $1.1m in lifetime cashes, according to The Hendon Mob database. His results include victory in the Swiss Classic held here in Rozvadov last March for €64,350. That’s not his best result though, as he took fifth place in the 20223 WSOPE Main Event, also here in Rozvadov, for €321,838.
News just in, Franke is now sadly out of the tournament, taking 23rd place for €1,050.
