Artem Utevskii sets the bar sky high at Day 1B; 28 players advance
Kickoff Event Day 1B wrapped up with Russia’s bagging 94 bb to take the lead in the Day 2 counts. Utevskii’s standout moment came when he eliminated two players at once with his set of Jacks, earning the majority of his chips in one decisive hand. In second rank, though 40 big blinds behind, was Ireland’s Shaun Conroy who delivered the bubble.
