The Winamax Poker Open Bratislava €500 Main Event has been a roaring success at the Banco Casino and has exceeded expectations on several levels.
It was going to be a tough ask to best the highly praised 2022 Winamax Poker Open Madrid, but when the dust settled over the four starting flights, a new attendance record was set at 2,221. Furthermore, the €977,240 prize pool is the largest poker purse to ever be generated in Slovakia.
From the newly record-setting field, just 14 players are in contention to be crowned the winer of the WPO Bratislava Main Event, with all of them vying to capture the title and €120,000 first-place prize.
Clement Bonnant piloted over the biggest stack from Day 2 and will begin with 14,725,000 in chips, which is good for 49 big blinds. Rounding out the top three chip stacks heading into Day 3 are Adrien Guyon (12,075,000) and Vincent Malet (11,625,000). Action resumes at Level 40 with the blinds set at 150,000/300.000 and a 300,000 big blind ante. Levels have also increased to 40-minutes in length.
Day 3 will get underway at 12:30 p.m. CEST and the action wont stop until there is only one player left standing.

Notable names still in the mix include Nacho Barbero and Deividas Daubaris. All 14 finalists have locked up a payday of €7,500 so far and reaching the seven-handed final table will secure a cash of at least €18,140 and the pay jumps from there on will certainly be significant.
The final day will be broadcasted on the Winamax Twitch and YouTube channels. Furthermore, the PokerNews live reporting team will also be on the floor from start to finish until a winner has been crowned in the record-setting 2022 Winamax Poker Open in Bratislava.
The players are just entering the tournament room and unbagging their stacks. Play should get underway within the next ten minutes.

Nacho Barbero jammed for 5,450,000 before Raphael Blouet moved all in for slightly more in the small blind. Clement Bonnant made the snap-call from the big blind and had the two players at risk of elimination.
Nacho Barbero:
Raphael Blouet:
Clement Bonnant:
Bonnant was in a great position to add to his chip lead and it seemed all but certain after the flop. However, the turn shot Barbero into the lead with a set and the river confirmed his triple up while Blouet was eliminated after being covered by Bonnant.
