Here you can find the chipcount at the end of Day 1 of the €600 Carnival Festival High Roller and the seatdraw for Day 2.  

Event 10 has sold out and started a little late, with Day 1 spread over 11 half-hour levels. There are currently 80 minutes of play remaining, with 151 players in the field for 238 entrants.

Entries are open until the end of the first level on Day 2, Sunday at 2:30 p.m., after a double level at the 2 p.m. resumption. 

The tournament takes place over half-hour levels, with candidates currently competing on 500 - 1500 (1500) with an average of 79,000 chips...

The prize pool already stands at €117,300! 

Already €127,168 in the prizepool, 107 qualifiers for Day 2

107 of the 258 entrants to Day 1 of the Carnival Festival €600 High Roller made it through the 11 half-hour levels on the schedule.

Play ended on 1000 - 2000 (2000) with an average of 60 blinds, and this level will be doubled at the start at 2 p.m. on Sunday March 3. Registration will be closed at the end of the first Final Day level on Sunday. 

Frenchman Steve Eschemann took a slight lead by multiplying the starting stack by 8 to bag 397,000 chips. He overtook Belgium's Patrick Prijot and Ken Beckers, who will return with over 100 blinds as the top 16 players.

Among those players with depth on the restart were Dario Sorrenti, who had just jumped out of the Main Event, and Daniel Pirlot. Just behind with just under 100 blinds, but enough to keep the tournament alive, are Edouard Mignot, Raphael Muller and Fred Blehaut.

Christophe Colantoni, Loic de Doncker, Olivier Carosella or Lukas Trzcinski and François Dutry also built up a nice stack...

Registration is closed for the €600 Carnival Festival High-Roller... The first doubled level boosted the prizepool with around 50 additional entries. The 39 players in the money will share €145,111!

With 295 entries, this two-day, 30-minute high-roller was a sell-out. The champion will pocket €28,136 if he wins without a deal! 

There were 100 players at the start of level 15, and 89 half an hour later, with an average still close to 30 blinds...

The €100 Sunday Special kicked off at 3.30pm, with registration open until almost 6.30pm...

Semi-Finals approaching

The exit of Gary Hasson (19th) gives hope to the rest of the field, all eyes on the €28,136 first prize.

There are still 18 players in the 15,000 - 30,000 blinds (30,000), with an average of 27 blinds... The bubble burst almost 4 hours after the end of late registration.

Loic de Doncker (55th), Day 1 chipleader Steve Eschemann (50th), Fabrice Somers (46th) and Edouard Mignot (44th) were not far from the money, and it took half an hour after the exit of François Dutry (42nd) for Cyril Mazet (41st) and then Ivan Sousa (40th) to exit within minutes.

Luc Ta, Patrick Prijot, Fred Blehaut, Lukas Trzcinski, Christophe Colantoni, Raphael Muller, Jean-Luc Labryga, Anne Trebitsch, Leonardo Armino and Ludovic Ruperto are still in the running...

Deal to 4, the trophy for Fred Blehaut

The semi-finals dragged on in the €600 High-Roller, so much so that there were discussions about dealing to 12! Some of the players refused, and play continued despite the increasingly low average.

So the final was super-fast, with a quick exit for Anne Trebitsch and or Lukas Trzcinski... and it was only after the release of Raphael Muller and Jean-Luc Labryga that the last survivors of a 295-entry field have come to an agreement.

The final quartet therefore took better than third place, Fred Blehaut and Ludovic Ruperto taking more than second place and almost €20,000 each.
