June 2, 2026

Three of the seven starting days for the €1,100 PokerStars Open Namur (€1,000,000 GTD) at the Circus Casino Resort Namur have been played, and with 484 entries, they have already generated nearly half of the million guarantee. The chip leader is still the Frenchman Gael Djenkal.

As expected, yesterday (Monday) was quieter, with 120 entries recorded. The game was played again with 30,000 chips and 60-minute levels, and after ten levels, 38 players remained. The day was won by Sefar Akcay with 211,000 chips; the DACH players didn’t perform as well yesterday. However, the overall intermediate results for the DACH players look good.The German-speaking players in Day 2:
