The PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Polish Open started yesterday in Warsaw with 190 players, but only 48 will return for day two as stalwarts such as Dario Minieri, Katja Thater, Kara Scott, Jani Sointula, and Sander Lylloff took to the felt but eventually hit the rail in this 21,000 Polish Zlotych (approximately €5,750) event.
Last year’s field had 284 runners and was won by Peter Willers Jepsen, who took down $200,000 and the title, and with 64 PokerStars qualifiers in the field for day 1A, the capacity of 400 will be close to being reached.
Well-known faces on the circuit who proceeded through to the second day included Trond Erik Eidsvig, Johan Storakers, and Marc Goodwin.
