The Million-Cap Guarantee at the Main Event Surpassed
The headline act of the entire festival is the Main Event with a buy-in of 1,500 CHF, which has already concluded all five starting flights. The tournament attracted a massive influx of players, especially on Saturday's Day 1d, which saw 379 entries—the strongest day of the event. The total number of entries reached 827, easily surpassing the initial 1,000,000 CHF guarantee. The final prize pool swelled to an impressive 1,116,450 CHF.
A total of 125 players advanced to the second day, and all have secured a minimum cash prize. The payout structure will be unveiled at the start of Day 2, when the winner's purse will also be revealed.
The overall chipleader after the initial phase is Italian Lulei Hu. Only Germany's Retzep, in second position, has also crossed the million-chip mark. Lulei Hu is eyeing another major result within a month after finishing third in the PS Open Main Event at the recent EPT Paris 2026.
Fans from the Czech Republic and Slovakia can still root for their three representatives battling for the title. The best-positioned is currently 27th-place Karlen Aladjyan (483,000), followed by Lukáš Pazma in 41st place (384,000), and Josef Gulaš in 79th position (210,000).

German Triumph in Omaha
A single Omaha event was on offer for the four-card specialists—PLO 8-max with a buy-in of 500 CHF. The tournament attracted significant interest, as shown by the 188 entries, setting the prize pool at 84,600 CHF.
The heads-up battle featured a thrilling duel between two pros. German Florian Kraft faced off against Swiss Andreas Fröhli, who claimed his first ring at the WSOPC in Marrakech in January and was close to a second trophy. However, Kraft emerged victorious, taking home 19,000 CHF and a sponsored WSOP package worth $5,000.
