BANCO CASINO CLASSIC 30,000€ - FINAL DAY: PETER „PLAYERSVK“ZOLNAI BECAME NEW CHAMPION!
The Banco Casino Classic has seen an outstanding participation of the poker community, while the highlight of each tournament is the final day. Yesterday got a great load, as we recorded 50 entries and the last advancing in the hyper turbo!
Banco Casino Classic carrying a 30,000€ guarantee recorded a beautiful 504 entries, which significantly "overflowed" the guarantee. The poker enthusiasts created a prize pool of 35,280€ (3% was deducted for the staff) and the Classic Champion was awarded with a 7,553€ reward and a 295€ ticket to the Slovak Series Of Poker Main Event.
On the final day, 73 players presented themselves, while five more had to leave empty-handed. The last unpaid player was Erin Dedic, who could not melt Miro Tall's snowmen with an ace and a jack in color, as the dealer created a nice drama with an ace and an eight on the board. From that moment on, everyone was paid and the min-cash started from 185€.
Nice performance was performed by Vlado Valent (62. - 185€), Rudolf Takáč (59. - 185€), Matúš Kučera (53. - 191€), Karol Salay (52. - 191€), Dodo Mravík (.48 - 191€), Milan Kučera (46. - 191€), Martin Bega (44. - 211€), Vlado Bednár (42. - 211€), Tomáš Szabo (41. - 211€), Bubo (39. - 211€), Andrej Pirník (34. - 226 €), Pavol Melichar (33. - 226 €), Vlado Minarík (32. - 226 €), Patrik Kuník (30. - 226 €), Michal Masaryk (28. - 226 €), Alenka Kochmanová (22. - 283 €) and Matúš Gabzdil (14. - 396 €), but it was not enough for the final table.
On the other hand, the happier line-up was nine finalists, which included big names such as Crown Poker Festival champion Kajo Masarovič and the excellent online player Peter "PlayerSVK" Zolnai. Both nominees held the vast majority of chips at the start of the final table.

The ninthth place was taken by the home player Michal Šimovič; Ludvík Brávek was ordered from the game on 8th place and Roman Čech closed the trio of the first ones falling out of the final table.
Behind them, Kizzik left the Banco Casino Classic in sixth place with almost a thousand Euros, followed by Kajo Masarovič, who was eliminated by PlayerSVK (KQ <JJ). For Petr Zolnai, this moment meant reaching the 10 million chip mark, which represented two-thirds of all the chips in the game.
It didn't take long and the game moved to heads-up after the elimination of Polish player Rafal Chmur. In the heads up, Jano Bobák met with a stack of 3.5 million chips and Peter "PlayerSVK" Zolnai with a stack of 11.5 million. The duel between these two players did not last long and in the last hand Janko with Ax Qx hit the fives and after the board 8x 7x 4x 7x 4x he had to settle for a great second place and a reward of 4,102€ plus a ticket to the “wrist event” SSOP with a 50,000€ guarantee.
The champion of the Banco Casino Classic was the well-known online player Peter "PlayerSVK" Zolnai, who showed a great ride from the beginning of the tournament and deservedly won 7,553€ together with a ticket to the Main Event Slovak Series Of Poker 200,000€ GTD. Congratulations!
