It’s finally poker time here at the Main Event, with the first bwin Team members taking to the tables here on Day 1c. We may have a few late additions to the roster for today as players straggle in, but here’s the preliminary list of bwin Team members in action today:

forsberg1979 – Hungary
cycostrike – Germany
baddyrock – Germany
—Grazy— – Austria
michak32 – Germany
Sirin-22 – Canada
Speedzebre – France

We’re expecting a big field here the next two days, likely well above the previous totals for Day 1a (1,116) and Day 1b (873).

We’re about 20 minutes from cards being in the air. The players at this year’s Main Event all start with 30,000 chips and blinds of 50-100, so there likely won’t be any early fireworks with all players starting with 300 BB worth of chips.

Stay tuned for a long, exciting day of poker, as we’ll be bringing you chip counts from all the breaks as well as big hands the bwin Team was involved in, photos, videos, and more.

Speedzebre is ready for action on Day 1c
