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.

Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Zsolt Szabo raised to 45,000 from the button and was called by the chip leader Mario Alina in the big blind.
Szabo continued for 40,000 on a flop of 2♠7♠10♦, then fired a second barrel of 75,000 on the turn J♣. Alina check-called both times.
On the river 7♦, Alina checked again. At the same time, Szabo's phone rang, so he looked at it and texted while everybody was waiting for him to make a decision.
He eventually flipped over his cards to check, revealing 10♣2♦ for two pairs. Alina had 10♠8♥, so they split the pot

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♠.

After Mario Alina opened from the cutoff, Adrian Filip three-bet all-in for 255,000 from the small blind. Lukasz Fraczek asked for the count, and shoved for 345,000. Alina folded.
Adrian Filip: A♦Q♥
Lukasz Fraczek: A♣K♠
Filip flopped top pair on a board of J♦5♥Q♣6♣4♣ and secured a double up, while Fraczek only has four blinds left.

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.

On a board of 7♥J♠9♦9♥Q♥ with 590,000 chips in the pot, Zsolt Szabo shoved for approximately 300,000 from the blinds, and he was called by Christoforos Chrysochoidis in middle position.
Zsolt Szabo: A♣3♥
Christoforos Chrysochoidis: 10♦8♦
Szabo bluffed on the river to try to win the pot, but he ran into Chrysochoidis' straight. Slightly covered, he was eliminated in 15th place for €2,050.
