The Main Event of the Summer Polish Poker Cup at Banco Bratislava has completed all of its starting flights, and from the start, it was clear that the guarantee would be smashed. The forecast held true – the prize pool reached a staggering €400,435, thanks to 3,365 total entries from players coming from all around the world.

Today at 14:00, all remaining players will return to battle it out in Day 2, aiming for a spot in tomorrow’s Final Day, where the biggest prizes will be awarded.

From noon, the poker room at Banco Bratislava was packed, as players tried to secure their seat for Day 2. Yesterday’s three remaining flights alone gathered 1,225 entries, creating the final pool of Day 2 contenders. Once registration closed for the turbo flight, it was clear to everyone: there’s serious money on the line. How exactly the prize pool will be distributed? We’ll find out at the beginning of Day 2!
