Late registration has now closed in the final starting day of The Hendon Mob Championship, which had 187 entries, bringing the total number of entries up to 777. However, Flips to Day 2 are now in progress and the first one drew a large crowd of spectators.
The format is a bit like Crazy Pineapple. All players are dealt three cards, they discard one and then turn their hands over and deal the board. The Festival Series Founder Franke entered the first one and both he and one other player both had K9 offsuit. Another player had pocket sevens and was in the lead until the river, when a King hit the board, leaving Franke and his opponent to play another hand to determine the winner.
In the second hand Franke had KT and was up against Q9. This time a King hit on the turn, to end the spin, leaving Franke as the winner, taking a 400,000 average stack into Day 2, which starts at 5pm.
The final flight of the €550 H.O.R.S.E.S Mixed Main Event is also running and Franke is in that too, but he stepped away from the table for a few hands during the Razz rotation to win his flip. It’s a small field so far, with six players so far, however it is only on level three and there are ten levels for late entry. Also playing is Jason Glatzer, still glowing from yesterday’s bubble avoidance coup.
