The Main Event at Banco Bratislava attracted an impressive 2,308 entries, allowing poker players to amass a handsome prizepool of €387,774. Only sixteen of the best navigated their way through Day 2 and will compete for the coveted title and a prize of €65,494. Who will walk away with the biggest win? You can catch the livestream of the final battles from 16:30.
Day 2 on Sunday, October 11, faced the tough challenge of narrowing the field from 231 contenders to the final sixteen, who are set to clash in today's finale. Each Day 2 qualifier was guaranteed €400, but the real ambition was to make it to the final day and vie for tens of thousands of euros.
Ultimately, the 16 players advancing to today's final showdown, aiming for the top prize of €65,494, see the Slovak trio of Jozef Bihári, Lukáš Pažma, and Peter Ješko in a strong position with the most chips. Who will claim the Main Event title at the Israeli Poker Federation Cup?
