The fifth edition of the Spadepoker Tour, which is running these days at the King's Resort Rozvadov, finally recorded 562 entries, which were not enough to collect the stipulated guarantee. Out of this number, the top 129 players made it through to Day 2 and faced two tough tasks yesterday - first to survive the bubble and make it to the top 62 ITM placings, and then to make it to the last 3 tables and secure their seats in today's final day.
The unpopular bubble phase came after about five hours of play, when it was to be decided who would go home empty-handed and who would take home at least the €1,095 mincash. The bubble was eventually credited to Russian player Demian, who found his hand right under the TV table , but poker fate was merciless to him:
The game starts at 1:42:00
The next 3 hours of play brought a great dose of poker, which you could follow, either in the aforementioned live stream or in our live blog. In it, you'll also find the full list of players who left us by the end of Day 2, at the end of which the top 24 players packed their stacks.
These are currently led by an Israeli player with the nickname O.G. Pageka, who bagged up a stack worth 2,505,000. Two more players have managed to get above the two million chip mark - Nikodemas Staniukaitis (2,015,000) and Petr Filip (2,000,000).

As mentioned earlier, the winner of this event will be awarded a €47,000 bonus, in addition to which he or she, along with the other top three players, will also take home a ticket to the WSOP Main Event worth €10,350.
