BANCO CASINO MINI MASTERS 50,000€ GTD: TITLE AND REWARD OF 7,529€ STAYED AT HOME IN THE HANDS OF VLADO VALENT!
The sixth day of the Banco Casino Mini Masters came with a 50,000€ guarantee, which was entered by sixteen candidates for the title of champion and the associated reward of 10,069€ together with a ticket to the next Banco Casino Masters worth of 165€. How did the final day turn out?
Before the key second day of the Banco Casino Masters, Sunday brought us the final hyper-turbo flight, which had the task to cut down the impending 6,800€ surcharge. At the end, the mentioned flight recorded 58 entries and last-minute seat was given to six promising champions by the second day. The total number of entries in this tournament climbed up to 490, which means that the guarantee resisted by little and casino paid a thousand to it. So far, 56 advancers unpacked their stacks at 15:00 and started another challenging stage. The goal of the second day of play was to form the final 16th, so it was clear that the game will continue at full tilt. This fact was also helped by the publication of the payout structure, which gave each successor 209€ min-cash, but reserved a solid 10,069€ to the winner.
The final day at Banco Casino Bratislava started at three o'clock and all those advancing at the semi-final tables opened their "packages" full of chips, which they collected from their opponents so far. Sixteen advancers had the task of reducing the playing field to the final table. Ľubo Žakovič (16th - 465€), Ondro Milaberský (15th - 535€), Tarkan Kabil (14th - 535€), Pavel Nagy (13th - 535€), Markus Ganglbauer (12th - 535€), Oto Barci (11th - 628€) and the last one to drop before the final table was Juraj Riška, when his jack with ten in the clubs could not beat the queen with six of Vlad Valenta in the same color.

Bugar took home 814€. Behind him, the Košice player Miroslav "Sartet" Kuruc said goodbye to the tournament with 1,047€ and the seventh place was taken by the home player Alenka Kochmanová, when as an ultra shortstack she could not "dial a coinflip" with an even pair against the pair and took 1,372€ from Banco Casino.
There was a long interlude, when the chips rolled from side to side, until Robo "String" Pružinec (AxKx) collided with Cade(Ax5x). After the blank board, Struna earned a prize of 1,791€ for sixth place. Chipleader from the beginning of the day Juraj Hara had to satisfy with fifth place and a prize of 2,326€, when he found himself with AxTx in the preflop all-in against Vlad Valent with KQ in the heart and after the Ax Tx 6x Jx 9x on board was left with no chips.
