On Friday, the starting signal was given for the Mega Satellite Weekend at the Grand Casino Liechtenstein (GCLI). In the first of the three identical tournaments, the guaranteed prize pool was broken, and in addition to the 10 WSOP Circuit tickets, there was also cash for the best participants. Among the qualifiers for the WSOPC Liechtenstein Main Event (February 26 – March 10) were names well known far beyond the GC Pokerroom.

150 CHF Mega Satellite
From 17:00, the tournament tables in the GC Pokerroom began to fill up. 86 players did not miss the chance to grab one of the 1.500 CHF tickets for the GCLI annual highlight for a buy-in of just 130+20 CHF. During the late registration phase, another 34 re-entries were added, breaking the 15k CHF guarantee and ultimately playing for 15.600 CHF. Thus, the first of the three Mega Satellites provided 600 CHF for 11th place in addition to the 10 WSOPC tickets.
Boris Rozhanovskyi had both good and bad luck in the first Mega Satellite. The Ukrainian survived the money bubble but then had to leave with 600 CHF cash on the immediately following ticket bubble. This determined the 10 players we will see again in the Main Event of the WSOPC Liechtenstein with their won buy-in.
In addition to “why not” (SUI), Claudio Piceci (SUI), “Monero Machiavelli” (GER), “Gibb Stutzt” (SUI), Pascal Inkert (AUT), “Kira” (GRE), Sebastian Schwander (SUI), and “Gassi 17” (SUI), this will also include the Austrian WSOP bracelet winner Ivo Donev. As the chip leader, local hero Kathrin Wolfinger (LIE) also received a 1.500 CHF ticket and was able to secure the bragging rights for the tournament victory.
