129 players enjoy a massive Day 1E

The fifth and penultimate starting day of the Circus Cup finally brought together 491 entrants, taking the prizepool to over €602,000 and tournament attendance to 1,333. Another great score for Namu!

At the end of the 12 40-minute levels and 8 effective hours of poker, 129 players had bagged chips. 291 players have validated a stack for Day 2, which kicks off on Saturday at 2pm on blinds 2000 - 4000 (4000). Around a hundred players are still hoping to join them at the end of Day 1F, on which there's still just over an hour to play... 

It was Germany's Siegfried Bund (photo) who bagged up 390,000 chips and finished top of the leaderboard on Day 1E... a far cry from the bosses of previous days. The German had a great time, and he told me that he spewed a huge chiplead in Aachen a few days ago...

Bund narrowly edged out Arno Coene (384,000), while Guillaume Navaro, Djamal Boutaleb, Claudio Guadagnino, Rene Franck, Yann Nasser and other regulars cleared the hurdle. Omar Lakhdari finished with 150,000 chips in the nick of time, doubling up Ace Jack against King Queen of Diamonds preflop. The dealer unpacked a Ten 8 2 flop with two diamonds before laying two bricks on the felt...

The BPC 2023 champion can still dream of one more big deep-run in Namur. Rui Dias Da Costa (353,000) finished strongly, taking out David Debue with three hands to go. Rui shook with preflop Jacks against 5s and 4s of diamonds from the 2015 WaSOP champion, who hit a flop with two diamonds, a 7 and an 8...
