The Polish-Slovak collaboration at Banco Bratislava enjoys immense popularity each year, as demonstrated by this week’s Summer Polish Poker Cup. Once again, it offers a Main Event with a €150 buy-in and a €250,000 guarantee, which is likely to be just a formality. The tournament kicked off on Monday with flight 1A, where the top 14 players advanced.

This led to another 14 players earning their way to Sunday's Day 2. Mihael Vukicevic from Croatia ended up with the largest stack, followed by Austria's Marko Grujic and Belarus's Artsiom Abmiotka.
