Casino Namur: Rush at the Circus Cup and € 602,701 prize pool

The first major event of the Circus Poker Series (CPS) at the Circus Casino Resort Namur, the € 550 Circus Cup, saw the € 500,000 prize money guarantee surpassed, with € 602,701 waiting in the pot. Markus Giesen is the chip leader on day 2.

The last two flights started on Friday, November 29th. Day 1E was played with 40,000 chips and 40-minute levels, on Day 1F the blinds were increased every 20 minutes. There were 491 and 186 entries respectively, bringing the total to 1,334. That leaves €602,701 in the pot after the deductions, the top 199 places are paid and secure a min-cash of €850. €90,000 awaits the winner at the end, but there’s still a long way to go.

129 or 72 players were able to bag up yesterday, no one came close to chip leader Markus Giesen (503,000). However, Pooly4711 (390,000), another German, made it into the top 5.

Day 2 starts today for 362 players, the blinds are at 2k/4k/4k. The first target is the money ranks, some will still come away empty-handed. Day 2 starts at 2 pm, and the € 1,100 Mystery Bounty (€ 500,000 GTD/50k/40′) starts at 3 pm, followed by the € 550 PLO (€ 50,000 GTD/30k/45′) at 6 pm.

The cash games always start at € 2.5/5 NLH or € 5/5 PLO. On the Circus Poker website you can find all information and also the possibility to buy tournament tickets online.
