Entries 2.966/ Left 26
Another thrilling day has just unfolded here at King’s Resort in Rozvadov: IPS 53rd Edition Main Event Day2 ended with 2,966 entries, bringing 26 qualifiers to the final act, which will take place this afternoon at 14:00.
As expected, it has been an exciting journey, filled with major shifts at the top of the count. Ultimately, Macedonia's Artiom Poddubnii (photo below) bagged the largest stack, amassing 12,850,000 chips. Here’s what he shared with us at the end of the day:
“Am I really the chip leader? Fantastic! Today, I have been particularly lucky; everything went in my favour. In almost every pot I played, I had the best hand.
I used to be a professional, though poker is now just a hobby. It already happened to close the day ahead of the count, and this is my first time at the Italian Poker Sport.
My biggest poker result? If I win the tournament, well, this would definitely be my best one!”

We’ve already mentioned today's chip leader, who leads the pack with 12,850,000. However, we haven’t yet highlighted the other standout players of the day: in second place, we have Czech Josef Šnejberg with 9,650,000, followed by Ukrainian Vasyl Pidhrushnyi with 9,375,000.
