TheFestival's Main Event has had all the opening days, during which the poker community has made 558 entries. That's not enough for a guarantee yet, for exactly 21,000€, and today poker enthusiasts have the last two levels of Day 2 to take part in the tournament. The second day of play starts from 12:00 and registration will be open until 13:50! Take advantage of the last chance to advance and get the title of champion of the biggest guaranteed event that has been played in Slovakia!

After three introductory days, 218 players secured their way to Day 2 with their game, wrapping large, medium, and small promotion envelopes. Day 2 starts in the 800 - 1,600 (ante 1,600) blinds and the starting stack is 30,000 chips, so we'll see how many players take advantage of late registration. At this point, the casino is subsidizing.

As expected, Thursday brought the strongest playing day of the Main Event to Banco Casino, which involved dozens of players from around the world. After ten levels, the number of entries stopped at 245, and after thoroughly packing all the progress stacks, we also found the number of advancers - 89 players secured the progress with their game.

Not only tournaments, but also the cash game zone is experiencing golden times - so many Euros will be buried on tables according to taste and demand. A great event and an excellent organization, which Banco Casino presents, and it is already the standard in this casino.
