It’s here! The Slovak Series Of Poker has completed its first playing day, attracting poker players to Banco Bratislava. This unique week full of action with quality tournaments and great cash games is a draw not only for local players but also for poker enthusiasts from the wider region.

Yesterday, the registration gates for the Main Event, the main championship tournament where the player will earn the title "Slovak Poker Champion," opened. Day 1A recorded 66 entries, and the top 7 players secured advancement to Sunday’s Day 2. Even more exciting, the first three players received a total of 3,600€ in cash since every flight of the Main Event includes a chipleader bonus. The biggest reward went to Shmuel Nakash from Israel. Congratulations!
