Filip Marchand qualified from Day 1a yesterday, but is here bright and early in Day 1b to chase the multiple qualification bonus. Players who qualify in multiple starting flights will receive a cash bonus, with best-stack forward rules applying. A second Day 2 bag will secure players a €1,000 bonus, a third qualification earns €2,000, while the maximum bonus a player can earn is for four qualifications, resulting in a €4,000 payday.

Here, Georgi Stoyanov opened to 600 under the gun, and received calls from Marchand and Robert Latis in the blinds.

The A♦9♣5♠ flop was checked to Stoyanov, who slid out a bet of 600, which only Marchand called.

The 8♥ turn was checked to the 5♥ river, where Marchand led out with a bet of 1,300, leading to a fold from Stoyanov. Marchand flashed the A♠ as he scooped an early pot.

Filip Marchand – 41,800
Georgi Stoyanov – 38,800
Robert Latis – 39,000
