The Rozvadov debut of the Vamos Poker Tour isn't solely about the Main Event with a €600,000 guarantee. From the outset, two staple festival tournaments took center stage: the Mystery Bounty Warm Up to stir adrenaline and the High Roller for those seeking a tougher challenge. Both events delivered significant moments – the first trophy went to a Polish player, while a deal decided the outcome in the high-stakes battle.
First Trophy Heads to Poland: Noe26 Conquers VPT Mystery Bounty Warm Up
Before all attention turned to the Main Event, the VPT series kicked off with the €175 VPT Mystery Bounty Warm Up featuring a €100,000 GTD. Taking place over three starting days, the event gathered a total of 441 entries, leaving the guarantee unchallenged. Sylwester "Noe26" Slawomir from Poland navigated the field with steady play and emerged victorious in the final day, earning €13,600 plus bounty rewards – and lifted the inaugural official VPT trophy of this stop.

High Roller: 130 Entries, Big Pay-Outs, and a Heads-Up Deal
While the Mystery Bounty awarded the first trophy, the €700 VPT High Roller showcased the festival's other side – a tougher, pricier, and more prestigious clash with a €100,000 GTD. The tournament amassed 130 entries, testing each player's mettle.
Prize money in this event was reserved for the top 20 players, with €21,229 ready for the winner. The tournament concluded with a heads-up deal between American Nicholas Lynn Scott and Flurim Alija. Ultimately, Scott emerged as the champion, collecting a trophy and €19,626.
Main Event: So Far 211 Entries
The series’ €350 VPT Main Event with a €600,000 GTD has completed its first two starting flights. Day 1A saw 52 players with 12 re-entries, totaling 64 entries. Flight 1B significantly picked up the pace: 110 entries and 37 re-entries brought the total to 147 entries. Thus, after two days, the count is at 211 entries.
From the perspective of the guarantee, the math is clear – approximately 2,000 entries are needed to meet it. This will need to be achieved over the weekend, which offers six additional ways to make it to Day 2: flights 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G Turbo, and even a special Flip and Go Pineapple. For those heading to Rozvadov, we wish you the best of luck at the tables!
