After Barcelona and Bucharest in 2023, the EA Poker Tour continues its European tour with a new festival at the Banco Casino in Bratislava.
Earlier in the series, 207 entries were recorded in the €250 EAPT Cup, won by Poland's Krzysztof Zwierz (€10,210). But now, it's time for the €560 Main Event which begins today, Wednesday, January 24. It is the first out of six flights, including an online flight which took place on Sunday, January 21.
€180,000 is guaranteed on the Main Event, but €20,000 in packages are also added to the prize pool, with the final four players qualifying for the EAPT Grand Final to be held this fall in Cyprus.
