KO Series #1 \u2013 Mini Christmas Opener Top 10 Chips Counts<\/h2>\n

The Mini Christmas Opener<\/strong> is shaping up to be massive as the guarantee has already been smashed with one flight remaining. A field of 3,321 players have created a prize pool of $66,420 with Day 1C waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n

\u201cPalsgaard1\u201d<\/strong> is in the envious position of chip leader right now and their chip tally is going to take some catching. They finished their Day 1 with a mountain of chips worth 3,227,305 and $73.75 from the bounty prize pool.

The Micro Christmas Opener<\/strong> looks set to obliterate its guarantee as $6,776 of the advertised $7,500 has already been collected with 3,388 players buying in across Day 1A and 1B.<\/p>\n
