129 entries in Day 1A
Yesterday the MEC Poker Open Online kicked off with the first starting day of the $55 Main Event ($20k guaranteed prize pool). A total of 129 entries were made by 106 players. Six nationalities were represented, including, of course, a large group of Belgians and Dutch.
19 players to Day 2
At the end of level 18, 19 players remained. They will play on Monday night for the title on Day 2! Among them are 4 Belgians, 13 Dutchmen, 1 Greek and 1 Austrian. De chiplead is voor Gert Bransteert has the chiplead with over 2 million points. This puts him almost a million points ahead of number 2 in chips Jan Marissen (1.223.084).
The average stack for Day 2 is currently 678,947 which is good for almost 50 big blinds at the start of Day 2! This average will obviously change as there are 2 more starting days to be played. The worst position is currently held by Jeroen van den Berg, who has just over 2 times starting stack at the start of Day 2 (214,538), which will be good for about 15 big blinds.
Tonight at 7pm Day 1B
Tonight at 19:00 hours Day 1B of the $55 Main Event will take place! Blind levels last 15 minutes and you can register until just over 90 minutes after the start (+- 20.35 hours). During that time you can also re-enter 1 if necessary. If you make it to level 18, you are through to Day 2! You can find the tournament in the Bwin lobby when you filter the category ‘MEC Poker Open’.
