7 Sur 7 

The final starting day of the Belgian Poker Challenge 2024 Main Event got underway at 9pm, with 11 25-minute levels on the program. 

This seventh and final start day of the main tournament will end at around 1.30 a.m., leaving BPC contenders with no choice but to register between the start days and the 1 p.m. start on Thursday. 

Play is currently underway on level 4 and blinds 200 - 500 (500) with 50 players in contention for 56 entrants. 

The figure will rise again, but Day 1G saw attendance climb to 1,137 entrants, with the prizepool now standing at €1,092,150.

Noah Alem, Farid Azarkan, Jensen Bernard, Guillaume Gillet, Bryan de Riddere, Nicolas Kojovic, Fabrice Somers and Jonas Viaene are all on board...

Turbo or Not

Day 1G stretches over 11 25-minute levels, a not-so-quick flight... and while you can get 20 blinds deep on 70-minute levels on Day 2, should you put a cartridge back in and risk blowing up?

The question doesn't arise for everyone, and this 7th and final starting day has now brought together 87 entrants. There are now just 66 in the running as we enter level 7 and the 500 - 1000 blinds (1000). 

With 140,000 chips, the man who just finished 9th in the WSOPC Venlo Main Event is right on schedule. Let's go Yoann Argence! 

Adrien Guyon doesn't seem to be there any more, while Noah Alem, Mike Neuens (below), Badr Al Ghouch, Farid Azarkan, Andreas Gondrom, Viorel Merisan and a few other regulars are battling to bring in over 50,000 chips as Day 2 gets underway. We'll have the answer on this flight at around 1.30 a.m.! 

51 Qualifiers in extremis, a Belgian in the lead before Day 2

394 players validated their ticket for Day 2 on the 7 starting days. You have to register before 1pm on Thursday to get 50,000 chips and start again on blinds 1,000 - 2,500 (2,500) with 70-minute levels... Tonight's prizepool is €1,161,850!

A total of 51 players made it through to Day 1G, the final day of action spread over 11 25-minute levels. Belgian Peter de Backer shaved to finish with 474,000 chips and a big stack for the restart, the biggest stack of any player still in the field. He beat Negming Wang (344,000).

Rico Roumen also qualified, eliminating Bruan de Riddere along the way, as well as returning players Otto Richard and Soufiane Abbouti, Anton Dedusha and EPT Prague finalist Umberto Ruggeri. Andreas Gondrom, Farid Azarkan and Noah Alem are also in the running...
