One of the marquee events of the entire Festival kicks us off with a bang. The ever-popular Hendon Mob Championship is hosting its first Day 1A here in Rozvadov with the cards first hitting the felt at 1 p.m. local time.
This year has the potential to see the world's largest Hendon Mob Championship, with a staggering €300,000 prize pool on offer from just a €150 buy-in.
Day 1A is scheduled to play down to 12.5% of the field remaining, with a €300 min cash guaranteed for those who progress to Day 2 on Sunday night.
The top two chip leaders from each flight will receive a Festival Main Event ticket worth €550 each, a nice juicer for anyone looking to get involved.
Currently in the field is a previous €2,000 Cape Town Package winner, Hermann Schweiger (pictured above on the right). The very same package is also up for grabs for the winner of this installment.
At the time of writing, 86 players are in the field of 92 entrants, but expect that number to grow as more entries filter in through the satellite and direct buy-ins throughout the 10-level long late registration period.
