The first of two starting days of the 2016 WSOP Circuit €1,650 Main Event at King's Casino in Rozvadov attracted a field of 298 players. 33 players opted for a reentry after they busted, which brought the total number of entries to 331. After 12 levels of 45 minutes each, 146 players bagged up chips and advanced to Day 2 on Sunday.
In one of the last hands of the day, a gigantic pot between Alexander Lakhov and Francisco Arce saw the latter take the chip lead off the former. From the button, Arce called a raise before Lakhov put in a three-bet to 11,000 while saying "six" from the blinds.
