GSOP Live: Greece Day 1B

The second first day of the GSOP Live: Greece Main Event drew a total of 257 players to the Porto Carras Grand Resort.

A significant number, considering that when you add it with Tuesday’s 88, the total of 345 makes this the biggest GSOP field in the tour’s history.

The action spilled out of the second floor conference room and into the casino to accommodate the massive field filled with a number of recognizable GSOP faces and a healthy helping of Bet24 and other OnGame qualifiers.

After turning $22 into a $3,500 package on Bet24, Swedish Qualifier Aron Olsson did his best to survive the day and represent the site, but it was Danish Bet24 Team Pro Anders Jensen who really put on a show.

Jensen chipped up mid way through the day dragging a big pot when his tens held against an opponent’s rivered pair of eights.

Then he moved up over 90k when he knocked out another foe flopping a set of jacks against a pair of queens all in pre flop.

Soon enough he crested the 110k mark with a set of tens and suddenly found himself among the chip leaders.

The BLUFF Live! video crew caught up with Jensen at the dinner break for a special Bet24 Rising Star edition of BLUFF Cover Story which you can check out on the GSOP Live: Greece video page, along with a snapshot of the action from the tournament floor, top ten chip counts and a look at the Porto Carras’ amazing marina – The largest in Northern Greece.

The day drew to a close after eight levels of play with Ioannis Papathanasiou holding the overnight chip lead, Jensen right behind him and 148 total surviving.

They’ll be added to the 43 survivors from Day1A for Day 2 Thursday and we’ll be back then to fill you in on all the details as the pretenders are separated from the GSOP Live: Greece Main Event contenders.
