The final day of the Banco Casino Masters, which recorded 825 entries with prize pool larger than 140,000€, kicked off from 4 p.m. The last 16 players set up their promotion chips and Vitor Hugo as the chip leader at the start of the day. With a stack of almost 5 million, Vitor was the leading member of the poker peloton nearing the finish line. The champion was waiting for a reward of 23,420€ and a ticket to the upcoming Banco Casino Masters, which will take place exactly one month from now on the August 26th, with prize pool of minimum of  100,000€!

The last two tables remained in the game, and the players had an important step ahead of them - to eliminate seven opponents in order to compile the final table. Paul Ryan, Michal Záborský, Peter Godány, Alenka Kochmanová, Milan Nižňanský, Željko Stevic gradually dropped out of the final day and the last one eliminated before the final table was Tomáš Staško.

Erik Suchý was the first one eliminated from the unofficial final table, after he dropped out; we met the official final table.
