To kick things off, two bracelet tournaments were started, and right away in Event #1, the €500+500+100 WSOPE Opener Mystery Bounty, things really got going.
588 entries were recorded on the first two starting days, and perhaps even more importantly, several well-known players from home and abroad participated, including Shaun Deeb, Michael Moncek, Paul Newey, as well as local heroes Martin Kabrhel and Zdenek Zizka.
Of course, some DACH cracks were also at the start, with Manig Löser and Gerald Karlic in particular putting in a good performance with 533.000 and 484.000 chips respectively.
