The final board has not “cooled down” yet and Banco Casino has already prepared for players more poker fun next weekend - Friday TEN GRAND 10,000€ GTD for only 75€, while Saturday will bring an exclusive "one day" event from THIRTY GRAND with a 30,000 Euros guarantee only for 110€ entrance fee - food will be prepared for players during the weekend and the winners will be waiting for trophies symbolizing the triumph at the Banco Casino. Mega one-day event already this Saturday at Banco Casino Bratislava!

 

The crazy weekly ride called Bounty Hunter Days at Banco Casino has reached its finish line and we have to say that the Banco Casino team has created another extraordinarily successful festival for the poker world. The preconditions came true, and Banco Casino delivered what it promised and even more - another famous poker holiday for its loyal guests. During the whole event, there was a great atmosphere in the Banco Casino and the whole casino was accompanied by a loud chatter, not only from Slovak-speaking guests, but from English, German, or French. If you love poker, you should try the poker festival or the big tournament at Banco Casino!

The main driver of the whole event at Banco Casino was clearly the Main Event, which initially guaranteed guests 100,000€ for 175€ entry fee. From the beginning of the main event, it was clear that the guarantee was just a formality, as the explosion of the poker community was unreal. Every day, dozens of players tried to advance to Day 2, where they were sure of the fight for the final day and the certainty of financial reward. The opening days brought a record 914 entries and that meant a prize pool more than 130,000€! More than 130,000 Euros were shared by the most successful in the form of a bounty of rewards and a prize pool.

During the festivals at Banco Casino, not only the tournament zone "bubbles", but also real cash game events were played every single day. Tables full of PLO or NLHE action were played almost continuously, and at any given time, if someone wanted to play "cash", they had the opportunity to choose from several tables. The great action brought big wins, real "suckouts" and famous games. If you are a lover of cash games, then it pays to come to Banco Casino for the festival, or even during normal days - since Banco Casino guarantees the game, every single day!

 

94, or more precisely 93 players (double qualification) advanced to second day, and this brought a big fight for promotion places to the final day. The next day began at a brisk pace and the whole process continued in this spirit. The task of the second day was to reduce the playing field to the last sixteen players, who secured the promotion to Day 2. From the tournament, the players were gradually eliminated and formed the order:

An unprecedented situation during the second day was the stopping of the tournament clocks during the penalty shootout between Italy and England, where after the last unchanged penalty, the genuine joy of the guests who cheered for the Italian team broke out in the casino. Great atmosphere, nothing more, nothing less!

In the end, 15 players made it to the final day, not 16, as in the last hand of the second day, two players were eliminated at the same time. At the beginning of the final day, there were three players in the lead - two from Austria, Poluk and Kuess, and home player Dušan Gajdoš, who advanced from the opening day at Banco Casino Košice!

The final day started at 4PM and the last 15 players sat behind the remaining two poker tables. The primary goal was clear - to make it to the final table and secure participation under the spotlights of TV cameras. A record of the entire final table can be found at the following link:

 

 

 

 

The final day was in the spirit of the second day and there was no shortage of eliminations.
