Immediately following the iconic Banco Casino Masters, a new festival organized by Banco Bratislava in cooperation with the oldest Israeli poker organization — the Israeli Federation Cup — will take place from January 20 to January 26, 2026, featuring guarantees exceeding €300,000.

 

 

IPC – An Organization with History and Prestige

The festival is co-organized by IPC (Israeli Poker Championship), the oldest and most successful Israeli poker organization, known for many years of hosting large and highly popular events. Their cooperation with Banco Bratislava creates a unique partnership between two strong poker communities. More than 400 Israeli players are already expected to attend!

Main Event – €250,000 GTD for only €200

The highlight of the festival will be the Main Event featuring a €250,000 guaranteed prize pool with an accessible €200 buy-in. This exceptional value makes the tournament one of the most attractive poker events at the start of the year in Europe. A massive turnout and a strong international player field are expected.

Cash Game Arena Full of Bonuses and Action

During the festival, players can also enjoy strong cash game tables traditionally known for large pots, an international mix of players, and generous bonuses. The atmosphere promises to be electric, with nonstop action throughout the event.

The 43rd Banco Casino Masters Main Event, after registration closed, recorded a total of 1,563 entries. The poker community from virtually all over the world surpassed the €250,000 guarantee, and 155 players advanced to yesterday’s Day 2. The 43rd edition delivered a fantastic start to the 2026 poker season, and today we eagerly await the first major champion of the year, who will take home €32,653. Fans can follow the final table live via the Banco Bratislava livestream.

 

Day 2 began with 155 players, each already guaranteed a minimum payout of €425, but all eyes were set on the 16 advancing spots securing a seat in today’s final and a chance to compete for the €32,653 top prize.

After several hours of play, the final lineup was formed and will be featured today under the spotlight and cameras. The full Day 2 results can be found at the end of the article. Good luck to all finalists!
