The 40th edition of the Banco Casino Masters is coming to a close. Just one last final day to go, where the last 15 players who have a shot at the title will face off. The final day will kick off at 16:00 and the entire final table will be streamed. You can see all the highlights from the final table thanks to our livestream, which starts at around 19:30.
The Banco Casino Masters attracted a lot of players to Bratislava who eventually generated 1,305 entries, not enough to beat the €250,000 guarantee. After all the opening days of play, the last 128 players remaining in the field were aiming to "survive" into the top 16, and who were guaranteed a €375 prize. Interestingly, János Dudás managed to qualify for the final day 3 times, earning him a €1,500 bonus, and we congratulate him on that.
Both well-known and lesser-known names left the tournament and before one o'clock in the morning we got to know the final day's line-up. After double elimination, 15 players will finally meet there, and the biggest stack will belong to local Martin Bartos, who will be operating with almost 6.9 million chips on the final day.
In addition to the final day of the Main Event, which starts at 16:00, the Masters Festival itself has two other side events. The BC Masters 6-max event kicks off at 2:00pm and the BC Masters Farewell Turbo starts at 7:00pm. Anyone staying at home is invited to watch the livestream from the final table, which starts at approximately 7:30pm.
