The prestigious WPT Prime poker tour has been anchored at the Card Casino in Bratislava over the past week and will complete another successful chapter today. The Main Event, which offered a half-million dollar guarantee, did not disappoint, with the final 732 entries taking care of the €702,720 prizepool.
Chipleader Andras Matrai
The advancers from all the opening days met yesterday in the Day 2 decider, which saw 95 players jump into the fray. They faced a gruelling 13-hour journey to make the final table, which we've tracked and mapped for you inour Live Report.
The last three tables saw the likes of WPT Vienna champion Konstantinos Nanos, recent WPT Opener event winner Christos Vettas, popular live stream commentator George Sandford, and the final elimination of the day was Slovakian representative Jozef "Santa" Komorný, who had to look at his opponent's completed flush in the Ad6c versus As6s matchup.
