Final Day of King’s Million Guarantees New WSOP Europe Bracelet Winner
The battle for another gold bracelet is down to its final chapter as Event #2: €350 No-Limit Hold’em King’s Million at the 2025 World Series of Poker Europe plays to a winner today at King’s Resort, Rozvadov. From a huge field of 3,229 entries, only 16 players remain in contention for the €113,350 top prize and a WSOP bracelet, which will get underway at 1 p.m.
Germany’s Sarah Link leads the way after bagging 7,540,000. Link surged late on Day 2, first finding herself on the right side of a cooler against Daniel Skipper before spiking an ace to send Miroslav Salaj to the rail. Right behind her are Greece’s Vagke Sagkinian (7,235,000) and Poland’s Michal Szczeblewski (6,950,000), with the latter winning an ace-king versus queens flip against Viorel Gavrila to climb into third place.

| 3 | Michal Szczeblewski | Poland | 6,950,000 | 58 |
| 4 | Bogdan Roman | Romania | 5,950,000 | 50 |

The penultimate day saw 295 hopefuls return, all in the money for at least €710, but the field thinned quickly. Bracelet winners such as Tobias Peters, Alexandros Kolonias, Rifat Palevic, and Martin Kabrhel were all eliminated before the final two tables were set. That means a new bracelet winner is guaranteed, but only time will tell who that will be.
Sascha Hausner (4,670,000) survived to Day 3 after scoring a late double knockout with pocket aces, while Stepan Budac, Javier Francort, and Tudor Zapsa also remain in contention. At the other end of the leaderboard, Amiel Gamliel returns with just 825,000 and will need an early double-up to stay alive.
Remaining Payouts
* Includes €10,350 ticket into WSOPE Main Event
The last 16 players have locked up €4,600, but a mini bubble awaits with the next elimination. Only the top ten finishers receive a €10,350 seat into the WSOPE Main Event, which is already included in the posted prizes. That makes the jump from 11th place (€7,350) to 10th place (€17,700) especially significant, as the extra value of the Main Event ticket makes it one of the biggest pay jumps of the tournament.
