Plan for Day 3

Day 3 will kick off with blinds starting at 10,000/20,000 with a big blind ante of 20,000 and increase every 45 minutes. Tournament Director Gerrard Serra shared with PokerNews that tomorrow's ending time will depend on how soon the final table is reached. If it is reached early enough in the day, the plan is to play down to a winner. If not, then the final nine players will come back for one more day of play on Sunday.

Stay tuned at PokerNews to see who will win the €300,000 guaranteed The Festival Series Bratislava Main Event.
