The 2018 Unibet Open Bucharest €1,100 Main Event played eleven one-hour levels. The Main Event started with 182 Day 1 survivors and didn’t manage to play down to a final table as seventeen players will return for Day 3 at noon local time, Sunday, August 5.
All the players have secured €5,870, but they’re hoping to be the next Unibet Open champion taking down the €103,060 grand prize in the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel.
Chip leader at the start of the final day of the Main Event will be Anton Vinokurov. He managed to bag 2,930,000 chips, which is about three times the average stack at the start of Day 3.
Vinokurov is followed on the leaderboard by Florin Elisei (2,485,000), Vitalijs Zavorotnijs (2,100,000), and Day 1a chip leader Yaron Turgeman (1,300,500). Others that made it through to Day 3 of the Main Event are 2015 Unibet Open Glasgow champion Daniel Chutrov (610,000), and Unibet Poker Ambassador David Lappin (505,000).
The tournament will resume tomorrow, August 5, at 12 p.m. local time. They’ll start play with level 23 with the blinds being 20,000/40,000, with a 5,000 ante. Unibet Poker will provide the live stream with hole cards on a 30-minute delay at Twitch.tv/unibetpoker.

Day 2 Action
The day started with 182 out of 592 entries left in the tournament. The money would be reached at 87 players left and they started the day fast paced.
It took a little more than three levels to reach the money. Players that didn’t manage to make it include Unibet Poker Ambassador Rauno “Estonian Jesus” Tahvonen, Deddi Orpaz, Gerret van Lancker, Alex Hendriks, Unibet Poker Ambassador and esports superstar Alan “Hotted89” Widmann, and Unibet Poker Ambassador Dara O’Kearney.
Andrei Alecu ended up as the unfortunate bubble boy after he pushed all in with his pocket pair of jacks and he ran into the pocket queens of Elisei, who made Day 3 second in chips.
Once they were in the money, it was time to say goodbye to players like Unibet Poker Ambassador Fredrik Bergmann (80th - €1,860).
After Bergmann busted out it was all up to Lappin to represent the Unibet Poker Ambassadors and he ended up making it to Day 3. Gareth James (75th - €2,070), Day 1b chip leader Aleksi Himanen (65th - €2,300), Day 1c chip leader Anton Markov (43rd - €3,140), and two-time Unibet Open Main Event champion Mateusz Moolhuizen (35th - €3,480) all fell short of making Day 3.
Another player that managed to make the money was Dutchman Noud van Dijk. Van Dijk qualified for the Main Event for just €0,10. He ended up running his initial buy-in up to a €4 ticket, a €25 ticket, a €250 ticket, and eventually a €2,000 package for the Unibet Open Bucharest Main Event. Van Dijk ended up in 53rd place, banking €2,830 which would be a whopping 28,300 times his initial investment.
The 17 remaining players will return on Sunday, August 5, at 12 p.m. local time. The live stream will start at 12:30 p.m. with a 30-minute security delay because it will be streamed with hole cards. PokerNews will provide updates until a winner is crowned of the 2018 Unibet Open Bucharest Main Event.

Florin Elisei sat in the small blind and Carmen Zainescu had raised from the big blind to 155,000. Elisei called the bet to see the 
flop appear.
Elisei checked to the winner of the #QueenRules Ladies Event and she continued with a bet of 105,000. Elisei called the bet again to see the 
turn card.
This time Elisei check-called a bet of 140,000 to see the 
river and both players checked this time.
Elisei opened up 
and although Zainescu knew she lost she tossed her 
in the middle.
Elisei has now well over two million chips.

Krasimir Kirilov opened for 60,000 from under the gun. It folded to Anton Vinokurov who three-bet jammed his chip leading stack.
Kirilov quickly called and was all in for a total of 660,000.
Anton Vinokurov: 
Krasimir Kirilov: 
Kirilov appeared to be in good shape to double up to a seven-figure stack. It was looking better after the 
came on the flop and after the 
appeared on the turn.
However, it was a brutal ended for Kirilov as the 
spiked the river to give his opponent a set. Kirilov was eliminated in 18th place for €5,290, while Vionkurov increased his chip lead to 2,865,000.

We lost a player at the feature table. Ionut Decher got his last 250,000 to the middle with 
and had to win against the 
from the chip leader, Anton Vinokurov.
Vinokurov almost flopped Decher drawing dead as the flop was . It was all over on the 
turn and the 
river was a courtesy to complete the board.
Decher gets to collect €5,290 at the payout desk.

Yaron Turgeman was involved in an all-in situation with Martin Wendt. Wendt had just 170,000 left when he got it in with 
and Turgeman had called him with 
.
The flop was 
and was very bad for Wendt. He lost the lead in the hand and was drawing to just two outs. The turn, on the other hand, was amazing for Wendt as the dealer put down the 
. The river was with the 
a blank and Wendt doubled up, but has still a short stack.

There was about 200,000 in the pot as the board read 
and Arvin Vahdat was facing a bet of 110,000 from Tomasz Kozub. Vahdat made the call to see the river card.
The dealer put the out there to complete the board and both players checked this time. Kozub showed ace high as he opened up 
, but Vahdat had the better ace high as he showed .

The cards are back in the air and they're playing for another 45 minutes before they start bagging and tagging.
