Lukasz Fraczek Eliminated in 16th Place (€1,800)

Maxime Taldir

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Down to 90,000, Fraczek in the small blind called to see a flop of 10♠Q♠J♥, then directly moved all-in with his remaining chips. He was called by Zsolt Szabo, who opened from middle position.

Lukasz Fraczek: 6♠6♥
Zsolt Szabo: A♠5♣

Szabo was on his way to double up after the turn 2♠. But the A♦ landed on the rive to send him to the rail. He is the first player eliminated on Day 3 and wins €1,800 for his 16th place.

Maxime Taldir

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After Rostyslav Sabishchenko raised to 40,000 from the button, Ivo Zeravica defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠9♦6♣ and Zeravica led out for 150,000. Sabishchenko called, then had an easy call when Zeravica shoved for 805,000 on the turn Q♠.

Rostyslav Sabishchenko: A♥6♠
Ivo Zeravica: K♠3♣

Sabishchenko caught Zeravica bluffing and doubled up after the river 7♠.

Final Day of EAPT Bratislava Main Event Begins at 2:00 P.M. Local Time

Maxime Taldir

In a few hours, one player will be crowned as the winner of the €560 EAPT Bratislava Main Event at Banco Casino. But who will be this player?

After Day 2, only 16 runners of a field of 389 entrants are still in the race to win the first-place prize of €37,630. They are led by Slovakia's Mario Alina, who built a massive stack of 2,435,000 chips after he had a "crazy run" in the last moments of Day 2.

But even with Alina in the lead, it is still way too far to predict the name of the winner, as six players come back on Day 3 with more than 50 blinds, including Day 1s overall chip leader Miklos Zsuffa (1,760,000), Avraham Sisso (1,330,000), or Rostyslav Sabishchenko (1,050,000). Lukasz Fraczek (355,000) and Adrian Filip (345,000) are also in the race, even if they hold the two shortest stacks of the field.

Play will resume at 2:00 p.m. local time with 35 minutes remaining on Level 20 (blinds of 10,000/20,000 and a 20,000 big blind ante). Then, levels will increase every 60 minutes, and every 20 hands on the final table until we have a winner.
