The number of entries today has increased considerably compared to the previous three days, surpassing the total reached until today.

Thu 15 Aug - 21:30 - 6th level with 162 entries!
We are in the middle of the sixth level of play, and the players have just returned from the first break of the day. The game is now at level 500/1000 with a 1000 ante, and the average stack is 70,000 chips. The entry count has reached 164, with 117 players still in the action.

Thu 15 Aug - 18:00 - CNP Main Event Day1 D begins!
We’ve just started here in the main poker room of King’s Resort with Day 1T Speed, featuring 30-minute levels, of the CNP Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of 1 million euros.
The event begins at level 100-200 with a 200 ante, and players start with an initial stack of 50,000 chips. Are already 54 players seated at the tables, each paying a 370-euro buy-in. Play will continue for five levels before the first 15-minute break of the day.
Thu 15 Aug - 03:00 - Chin Buffet ahead after a crazy last hand!
A sensational hand marks the end of play two hands early here at Day 1C of the CNP Main Event. The show's star is Arturo Paduano, who opens from UTG with a bet of 25,000, with blinds at 6,000/12,000 and a 12,000 ante. He faces an all-in squeeze from Daniel Granov with about 400,000 chips.
The squeeze is also justified by the fact that the player in the big blind has only five blinds left, so there’s some dead money to grab. However, the small blind, Germany's "Chin Buffet," decides to go all-in for around 220,000 chips as well.
The big blind also joins the action, prompting Arturo Paduano to call with 8-6 offsuit, putting himself in contention for a pot of over a million chips.
The board comes out with a ten as the highest card, and a six on the river allows him to win the side pot and maintain about the same stack size, while Granov is forced to leave the game with great disappointment, as is the player in the big blind. Meanwhile, "Chin Buffet", holding K-K, celebrates and is ahead of the count as the action stops.
All details of the day will be shown on our daily report at THIS LINK.
Thu 15 Aug - 01:45 - Paduano running hot, 16 left!

The Italian player Arturo Paduano (head pic) is standing out with over 600,000 chips at the moment, which is equal to three times the tournament average.
Meanwhile, the highest neighbouring table so far, does not exceed 500,000 chips. There are still 20 minutes left in the current level, with two more levels scheduled, meaning another hour of play, unless the final 8 players are reached, representing 10% of the field.
Thu 15 Aug - 00:00 - Late reg closed, 71 entries!
The eleventh level of play is about to conclude in the upper section of the Main Poker Room at Kings Resort, where 32 players remain in the race out of a total of 71 entries, with Late Registration now closed.

Several players who have already participated in the first two flights over the past few days are seated at the tables, including Italians Riccardo Basso (head pic) and Simone Piazzini. Piazzini was eliminated last night on the very last hand, which you can find a few posts down on our live blog or in the final report of the day.
Wed 14 Aug - 03:00 - "Lucky Mr.M" is Day1 B chip leader!
Day 1B of the CNP Main Event concluded slightly ahead of schedule thanks to the elimination of Simone Piazzini, who went all-in preflop against the day’s Chip Leader, “Lucky Mr. M.” Piazzini held K-Q against pocket queens, but the Slovakian player came out on top, bringing the action to a close as the field reached 3 players left.

Tue 13 Aug - 21:15 - 22 left at the 4th level!
We are approaching the end of the fourth level of play here at Kings Resort for Day 1B of the CNP Main Event, with 21 players still running out of 23 qualifiers.
Day 1B started an hour late due to insufficient entries to begin the tournament. As a result, the first break will not take place at the end of the fourth level as usual, but at the end of the fifth level, meaning there will be another 30 minutes of play.
The blinds are currently 300-600 with a 600 ante and will increase to 400-800 at the next level change. The average stack is 54,000 chips out of the initial 50,000, a minimal variation as there have only been two eliminations so far.

A starting stack of 50,000 chips, 30-minute levels, and 16 levels of play are scheduled. Are you ready to get started?

The remaining eight players are all seated at a single table. Unless three eliminations occur, they will continue to play for the remaining 25 minutes of the current level plus two more levels.
