The Winamax Poker Open (WPO) at Banco Casino in Bratislava continues today with Day 3 of the €500 Main Event. Of the 1,577 entries that were made, only 13 will return this afternoon as the tournament plays down to a winner.
Of the finalists, it is Pierre Neuville who bagged the all-important chip lead and will be taking through a stack of 11,250,000 for the Day 3 restart, at 12:30 p.m. Neuville is the only player to have accumulated an eight-figure stack and will be eagerly looking to convert it into a score of €100,000, by the end of proceedings today.

Winamax Team Pro is still standing strong as both Leo Margets and Davidi Kitai have secured stacks of 5,420,000 and 7,555,000, respectively.
Last night, both players attracted some of the largest rails in the room as friends and fans alike came to support their deep runs. There is no doubt that all eyes will be on the pair as each looks for their biggest score of 2023.
Still in the mix is Adrien Guyon who finished runner-up in this very event for €88,000 in 2022. Guyon will be looking to transform his below-average Day 3 stack into a trophy and title by the end of the night, surpassing his own personal best here in Bratislava.
