King’s: A ton of value awaits at the €500,000 GTD Festival Main Event

The problem with “The Festival” is the many attractive side events that push the €550 Main Event (€500,000 GTD) into the background. However, this event is worth seeing. Today, at King’s Resort Rozvadov, the last regular flights are happening and there’s plenty of value.Yesterday, on June 12th, two flights were played, and after a quiet start on Thursday, traffic wasn’t significantly higher yesterday either. For the buy-in of €550, players received 50,000 chips, and the blinds increased every 30 minutes. The top 15% made the money and secured the min-cash of €1,100, while the top 12.5% qualified for Day 2. There were 39 and 55 participants at the tables, with re-entries happening four and twelve times respectively. After three flights, there were only 174 entries total – so there’s really plenty of value in this tournament.Seven and eleven players made the money yesterday, while six and nine players bagged their chips.With the numerous events, the Main Event hardly stands out. However, it offers 50,000 chips, 30-minute levels, and a €500,000 prize pool guarantee, which is impressive. The first flight took place yesterday with 55 starters and nine re-entries. Ten players secured the min-cash of €1,100, and eight players bagged for Day 2 on Sunday. Dong He took a slight lead with 597,000 chips ahead of Dwayne Sluis with 581,000 chips.Rama Prema came into Day 1B with 825,000 chips, also taking the overall lead, while Gevork Simonyan entered Day 1C with 649,000 chips, placing second.Only 23 players are in for Day 2. Today, there should be many more, as the last two regular flights are scheduled. Tomorrow, there will also be a Turbo Flight and flips.But today also features an extensive alternative program, providing strong competition. Cash games start as usual with blinds of €1/2 NLH or €2/2 PLO.
