The iconic Masters tournament has been a part of Banco Casino’s calendar since 2016, and so far, 41 players have earned the title of champion. This edition once again keeps the familiar and affordable 170€ buy-in, making it accessible to the wide poker community.

 

Yesterday, the seven-day journey of the Masters began with Day 1A, where the first wave of players joined the action in hopes of reaching Sunday's Day 2.
The opening day drew 129 entries, and based on a 10% qualification structure, 13 players advanced with a guaranteed spot in Day 2.
The biggest stack was bagged by local player Peter Ješko, who also received the 1,500€ chipleader bonus.

Exclusive €2,600 Chipleader Bonus

Banco Casino has prepared a special attraction for this edition of the Masters – the Chipleader Bonus.

The rewards are:
First place:  1,500€
