The last four days of the Norwegian Championship in Bratislava's Card Casino belonged to the half-million Poker North Masters event with a buy-in of €800. In the end, thanks to 719 entries, the historic guarantee was exceeded, and all 184 successfully advancing to day 2 could look forward to fight for shares of the €504,738 prize pool. It began to be divided among the 87 players shortly before the fourth hour, when three players simultaneously dropped out, thus avoiding the unpopular hand-for-hand phase.
The plan for the second day of play was to form the final table, or to get as close to this moment as possible during the 15 levels. During almost 13 hours of play, it was finally possible to form the final thirteen, which will sit down at the tables of the final day today at 12:00 p.m. The Live Stream will accompany you on their journey, and at the end of it, we will get to know the champion who will take home the prize of a lifetime!
Each of the finalists is already guaranteed a €4,945 reward in their pocket, but that is nothing compared to the €105,483 bonus waiting for the winner. The closest to this title at the moment is the unstoppable Norwegian Joergen Schjetne, who had an incredible run throughout day 2, ending with a stack of almost 20 million, which is over a quarter of all chips in play!
