€250 King’s Million – Day 1A Part 1
On Friday, Part 1 of Day 1A of the King’s Million in No Limit Hold’em began. For a relatively affordable buy-in of 250, 97 participants played for the guaranteed €1 million, or rather, first to survive the first 8 levels, which were extra long at 60 minutes on the split starting days 1A and 1B. After 32 re-entries were added during late registration, 37 of the 129 total entries succeeded in doing so.
Among them were 15 German-speaking qualifiers. The most successful chip collector from the D-A-CH region was Tolga Karakaya, who amassed 258,200 chips. Among the top three chip collectors was also the Czech MTT crusher Lukas Rychetsky, who bagged 298,700 chips. King’s regular Igor Fonseca Brito packed his chip bag with a 305,300 stack, while David Eiselt from the Czech Republic became the chip leader of Part 1 of Day 1A with 343,100 chips.
