• Winter Polish Poker Cup 250,000€ was a brutal ride that set a European record in the mystery bounty format. The tournament produced a massive 3,839 entries and Vitalii Shcherba emerged as the winner from this enormous field, taking home 42,796€ + 3,455€ bounty. The highest bounty was worth 41,000€, claimed during Day 2 by Piotr Kolenda. The poker frenzy here is far from over, as The Festival kicks off today and its schedule can be found below. At the beginning of March, the Norwegian Poker Championship awaits us, including the North Poker Masters with a 300,000€ guarantee. For more information, follow our website and social media.
