Khatrachyan secured one of the final eliminations of the day when his opponent went all-in pre-flop with just over the 30.000 points given as a starting stack, showing a good hand with A Q, while the Armenian player, with a very loose range, faced him with 5 3.

The action returns this Thursday, March 12, as part of Day 1C, which will seek to continue increasing the total prize pool, while the series approaches its final stretch with the Mini CEP and Closer events on the schedule, which is already nearing the finish line.
