🌙 La Notte Degli Assi ✍️ LIVE BLOG

Here we are once again at King’s Resort in Rozvadov for another exciting poker adventure, ready to unfold over this first weekend of June.

The stage is set for La Notte degli Assi, featuring a €390 buy-in and a massive €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. As usual, our coverage begins with Day 1D and will continue all the way through to the crowning of a new champion.

Over the coming days we’ll bring you live updates, chip counts, photos, interviews and all the key moments from one of the most anticipated events of the summer season here at Europe’s biggest poker room. Let’s get started!

Thu 4 June - 01:10 - Shymanski wins a huge pot and is ahead before the bubble!

Just three eliminations away from the money bubble, Belarusian player Dzmitry Shymanski wins a massive pot against both Pink Devil and the chip leader from the previous update, Vlastislav Chladil.

Unfortunately, we only arrived at the table by the river and were unable to reconstruct the preflop action. What we do know is that the final board read K-Q-3-9-7 with three hearts on board, a texture that ultimately awarded the pot to Shymanski, who now climbs to approximately 900,000 chips from the 250,000 he had before the hand.

The action we witnessed began with Pink Devil leading for 175,000 into an already enormous pot. Chladil called, leaving himself with only 40,000 chips behind, and Shymanski quickly came along as well.

At showdown, Shymanski tabled a Ten-high flush. Pink Devil, who had been the aggressor, immediately sent his cards into the muck without showing after seeing both opponents call, clearly aware he was no longer holding the winning hand.

This hand took place on Table 201, one of the two remaining tables in play. The field is now down to 16 players, with 13 set to reach the money and 11 advancing to Day 2.

The tournament is currently being played at Level 13 with blinds of 3,000/6,000 and a 6,000 ante. The bubble phase is expected to last roughly another couple of levels, unless a series of quick eliminations accelerates the process.

As a reminder, the chip leader of each starting flight will receive a €1,150 ticket for the next King’s Million, a bonus reserved exclusively for the flight winner.

Thu 4 June - 23:30 - End of late reg, Czech's Vlastislav Chladil ahead!

We have reached Level 10 here at King’s Resort Rozvadov, the final level available for late registration and re-entry in Day 1D of La Notte degli Assi 🇮🇹♠️🔥

A total of 82 entries have been recorded so far, with 26 players still seated at the tables. Late registration remains open for the remainder of the current level — approximately another 12 minutes — after which the field size will become official.

Blinds are currently 1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 ante, while the average stack has climbed to 150,000 chips from the original 50,000 starting stack.

One player has clearly stood out during the latter stages of the day: Czech player Vlastislav Chladil, who currently sits on approximately 480,000 chips, more than three times the tournament average and comfortably at the top of the provisional counts.

The action has now been reduced to four tables and, with 12.5% of the field advancing to Day 2, roughly ten players are expected to secure a seat in the next stage.

There is still plenty of poker left to be played before the bags come out here in Day 1D of La Notte degli Assi

Thu 4 June - 21:30 - 50 left at the 7th level!

First update from Day 1D of La Notte degli Assi here at King’s Resort Rozvadov 🇨🇿♠️🔥

A total of 75 entries have been recorded so far, with Level 7 currently in progress. Players still have three more levels available to register or re-enter before late registration officially closes. As always, 15% of the field will make the money, securing a minimum cash of €780, while the top 12.5% will advance to Day 2.

At the moment, 50 players remain in contention. Blinds are 600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante, while the average stack has climbed to 75,000 chips from the 50,000 starting stack.

The action is expected to continue deep into the night, and there are still two more levels to be played, including the current one, before the second break of the day.  As a reminder, this is a Speed flight, with 30-minute levels throughout the day!
