I’m in Prague for WSOP Europe and it’s finally Main Event Day (Day 1A) of the €5,300, €10,000,000 guaranteed tournament — and it honestly feels surreal sitting under the feature table lights. I came here with about a $30K bankroll (roughly €26K) and one goal: win a bracelet. After firing bullets in the Mystery Bounty and taking a shot in the Colossus with no luck, this is the one I’m most excited about. I also explain the “Golden Egg” promo: if you bust and re-enter, you get to draw for a chance at a free €5,300 re-entry… which is amazing, but obviously I’d rather just bag. Strategy-wise, I break down the one pot I actually won on a brutal, card-dead day: defending the big blind with 7♦6♦ on K♠4♥2♥, then check-raising and barreling when I pick up equity on the turn. I also grab a quick chat with 2022 Main Event champ Espen Jørstad about why paying attention and exploiting the table matters more than trying to play “pure solver” in a field like this. And while I’m battling pros and bleeding chips, we’re also sweating Bob’s deep Colossus run — plus my own frustrating bust with pocket queens when the river had other plans.
