The Main Event at the Balkan Poker Circuit festival, with a buy-in of €295, offered an enticing guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 (including ten €3,500 packages for the upcoming KMEPC). The tournament attracted a total of 2,817 entries, yet it fell short of meeting the guarantee, leading the casino to cover a massive six-figure overlay.
The final day saw the last 24 players competing, each assured a minimum payout of €2,525. The final day kicked off with Hassibullah Hafizi as the chipleader, but he was unable to reach the final table, finishing in 12th place.
On the final table, the last four players reached an agreement on prize distribution. The heads-up match featured the German duo of Fabio Franz and Kai Vater, who accounted for seven of the eight eliminations at the final table, earning their showdown for the title.
In the play-off for an additional bonus and the trophy, Fabio Franz dominated, finding trips with a hand of Q c 4 h on the board Q h Q s 6 c 7 h A h, defeating Vater's K c K s.
