11:10am: Day 1B kicks off in an hour!

Morning all, and welcome back to the InterContinental Hotel for Day 1B of the €1,100 main event of Eureka6 Bucharest. We had a great day of poker yesterday with 253 entries for the first of the Day 1 flights, and 98 of them bagged chips when play was over. Today, it's going to be even bigger.

The player we know you'll all be following is none other than Mr Daniel Negreanu. The Team PokerStars Pro has made the journey to his homeland specifically for this event, and he'll be taking his seat in the field when play begins at midday. It's English only at the tables during hands, but Negreanu speaks fluent Romanian, so he's sure to be chatting away to the locals when he's not in a pot.

Daniel Negreanu yesterday

Everyone who sits down today will be hoping to end the day like Bucharest-local Emanuel Victor Beteringhe did last night. He had a surge in the last level and ended the day as chip leader with a massive stack of 202,425. Considering everyone starts with 25,000 in chips, that's pretty impressive. You can check out all of yesterday's action here, and view the End of Day 1A chip counts here.

You'll find all the key tournament info below. Play starts at 12pm, and the plan is to play 10 45-minute levels. Then there's the little matter of Day 1C - a turbo flight with 20-minute levels which begins at 9pm tonight. It's only available to those players who have busted from 1A or 1B.

So bookmark this page. Make it your homepage. Don't take your eyes off it. Do whatever it takes to ensure you don't miss any of the action. We'll see you shortly!
