We'll start from the end, the Main Event. This one had a buy-in of €250 and a nice guarantee of €250,000. With the start of the last flighty, it was clear that the tournament was finally even gently picking up, with players making a total of 1,023 entries.

103 of them advanced to DAY 2, and at that point all of them were assured of an ITM. The payout structure started at €520, but by that point everyone was already eyeing the top prize - €42,422 + €1,100 for the Bratislava WPT.

In DAY 2 we saw a lot of interesting games, after which many big names from the poker scene, such as Marek Blaško, Marian Fridrich and Ivan Sebelédi, said goodbye to the tournament, together with a large group of Israeli players.

At the end of the day, the top sixteen were finally formed, which secured their advancement to the FINAL DAY. It also included a pair of Slovak representatives - Andrej Desset bagged the sixth biggest stack, 4 million chips - while Martin Tóth was a little better off, finishing fourth with a stack of 4,690,000 chips ahead of the Grand Final.

You could also enjoy the climax of the Pedro Poker Tour Main Event thanks to a commentary LIVESTREAM, with the aforementioned duo of our countrymen in action.

Unfortunately, Andrej Desset was unable to make it to the final table, busting out in 10th place for €2,490. After the subsequent elimination of Norwegian Anders Karlsen, the final eight was formed and we still had a hot hand in Martin Toth.

In the end, the only Slovak on the FT finished in 4th place, for which he scored a handsome prize of €8,710. At that moment, however, he was surely a bit sad, because there were several times more waiting for the winner.

Asko Muratovic, playing under the Austrian flag, became the champion and won €36,000. Israeli Tal Herzog was also happy to take home €31,072 after the deal.
