Mon17 - 22:00 - Redraw at 16 left with Recupero ahead!
The remaining 11 players in the IPS – Italian Poker Sport Main Event Final Day have returned to action. Five contenders are seated at the Feature Table, while six are battling at the Outer Table.
Simone Recupero continues to dictate the pace. After a dominant performance on the live stream, he remains in control, applying relentless pressure and disregarding ICM considerations in several key spots.
A dramatic day has unfolded also for the Italian-Chinese player Lu Lei Hu, who currently holds around 40 big blinds. Earlier, however, he spent several stretches hovering below the 10-BB mark before climbing back into contention.
Play is now in Level 400,000/800,000 with an 800,000 ante, and the average stack stands at 21 million chips, a structure that is beginning to compress as the field shortens.
The players are currently fighting for the €3,000 ticket to the King’s Million Main Event, with the bubble still in play.
Once this step is completed, attention will shift to the next bubble — the one that determines the official Final Table.
A full update with the final table lineup and the link to the Italian live stream on the EuroRounders channel will follow shortly.

Simone Recupero, who finished Day 2 as the chip leader, is having another major run today. He now sits at the Feature Table with more than 35 million in chips. Over at the Outer Table, Lu Lei Hu maintains a strong lead with well over 60 big blinds.
Still in the field: the Frenchman Axel Bayout, the Romanian Mousa (very short after a strong tournament up to the redraw), and another Kings regular, Mephisto from Germany. Italian player Nader Azgui is also still in, despite his name suggesting foreign origins, and Savas Kuelueg continues his deep run after yesterday’s strong performance.

We are currently in the fourteenth level of play at Day 1D of the Italian Poker Sport 55th Edition at King’s Resort Rozvadov. Blinds are 4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 ante, and the 55 remaining players are about to take the final break of the day.
When action resumes, the field will move to 5,000/10,000/10,000, and play will continue until the field is reduced to 12.5% of the entries. That target is set at 37 qualifiers, meaning roughly twenty eliminations still separate us from the end of the day.
The flight closed with 290 total entries, confirming another strong turnout in this edition. As per EuroRounders format, all surviving players will advance to Day 2, while the end-of-day chip leader will also receive a €1,150 ticket for the King’s Million European Poker Championship Super Main Event.
We will keep providing updates deep into the night and publish the full end-of-day chip count as soon as the flight concludes.
