Georgios Zisimpoulos, Julian Selinger, and Scott Hill were the first trio to bow out, the latter being the final player not to receive a five-figure haul. Kerry Panayiotou busted in fifth and won $11,350 before Sergi Denisov collected $16,000 for his fourth-place exit. 8th: Julian Selinger – €4,781 9th: Giorgiy Skhulukhiya – €3,674 The one-day event was a fast-paced affair and it involved some key players in the WSOP Player of the Year race going deep.

It took 13 hours of poker for Fara to produce his own ‘chip and a chair’ moment in Event #7, the €1,100-entry Turbo Bounty Hunter event at King’s Casino. Julian Selinger: Germany: €.

This year’s World Series of Poker Europe is well underway in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. In fact, the WSOP Europe begins this weekend.

Action started on October 13 and runs through November 4 at King’s Casino, the same location as the past several years. This year, though, the schedule was beefed up to 15 bracelet events, as well as some high buy-in special events that did not offer bracelets.

Some of the tournaments were also scheduled for livestreaming on PokerGO, a subscription-based streaming service.

With that, let’s look at the first 10 bracelet events on the official WSOP Europe schedule and how they played out. (Keep in mind that all tournaments allowed at least one reentry.)

Plenty of other partypoker players were on their way to becoming a WPT World Online Championship winner while Daniel Smyth was busy turning $33 into almost $430,000. The Mini and Micro editions of the Knockout Championship concluded, as did a High Roller and a pair of WPT 8-Max Knockout events.

WPT #05 Knockout Mini Championship Final Table Results

Hungary’s Daniel Koloszar walked away with more than $108,000 thanks to winning the WPT #05 Knockout Mini Championship. The Hungarian’s return on his $320 investment is most impressive.

Koloszar defeated Brazil’s Thomas Nelz heads-up to secure the $60,800 top prize, which was bolstered by $47,784 worth of bounty payments.

A handful of the game’s biggest names reached the final table but, sadly for them, couldn’t quite get the job done.

Faraz Jaka fell in ninth-place for a combined prize worth $7,226 while Marc-Andre Ladouceur saw his tournament end abruptly in seventh-place, a finish worth $16,134 when bounties were included.

Dutch star Jans Arends finished in fourth and saw his $320 investment swell to $32,629.

No doubt these aforementioned players will be fighting it out for the Mix-Max Championship top honours this weekend.

WPT #05 Knockout Micro Championship Final Table Results

Brazil’s Gabriel Merenda was the last man standing in the $33 buy-in WPT #05 Knockout Micro Championship. Top prize plus bounties meant Merenda is now $27,217 richer than a few days ago.

Nodor Nakaidze of Georgia was Merenda’s heads-up opponent. Second-place weighed in at a combined $19,283, a significant return on a $33 buy-in.

Other Big Winners

Ali Imsirovic made amends for not winning the WPT Knockout Championship by triumphing in the $5,200 High Roller. Imsirovic finished Day 1B of the Knockout Championship as the chip leader but ran out of steam in 14th place for a $27,015 prize.

Imsirovic got his hands on the $32,500 top prize in the $5,200 WPT High Roller. It was a compact field of 10 entries and our very own Kristen Bicknell finished in third to burst the bubble. Imsirovic bested Francois Billard heads-up to bank the top prize, leaving Billard to scoop up $17,500.
