Day 1B of the €1 million guaranteed Irish Poker Masters KO Main Event took place over the weekend and saw another 217 players take to the partypoker virtual felt. Only 33 of those starters progressed to Day 2, and nobody bagged up more chips than Christian Rudolph.

There is a 50x €1,100 seat Mega Sat at 16:05 GMT on November 21, whch is your best way into this massive event. It’s buy-in is €109 but you can play your way into it from only €0.01 because the Mega Sat is a phased satellite. Good luck.
