Before the final table, chipcount looked like this:
- Schwarz Vladimír - 6,830,000
- Rezaei Daniel - 5,705,000
- Pociecha Jaroslaw - 5,615,000
- Liška Juraj - 3,340,000
- Eliáš Peter - 2,530,000
- Častvan Pavel - 2,200,000
- Mravík Jozef - 1,700,000
- Langer Michal - 1,690,000
- Sniežek Adrián - 1,570,000
Right from the start, the finalists said goodbye to the short stacks Adrián Sniežek (Kx Qx <Ax5x) in ninth place for 1,592€ and Michal Langer (AxTx <AxJx), who had to settle for eighth place with 2,047€.
In a short time, Peter Eliáš also left the glare of the spotlights, when he unluckily lost the preflop all-in with Ax Qx to Rezais with Kx Qx. Five cards brought the king, and Rezai scored over Peter. He took home 2,957€ from Banco Casino.
Rezai did not stop and Pavel Častvan also became the victim of this Austrian player in sixth place for 4,094€, when chips were moved from both sides to the center and 7x 5x 4x showed up on the flop. The cards were turned over and Častvan with a Tx 7x was ahead of his opponent's Ax6x. However, the river ace changed the situation and the “seat open” was born. The fifth place was taken by Juro Liška, when in a preflop confrontation he could not dial Qx Jx into Schwarz's combination Ax Qx. However. Juro left with the reward of 5,458€.
Shortly after him, Jaroslaw Pociech from Poland, was ordered from the game when, as an ultrashort, he sent Qx Tx and was called by Rezai with 8x 7x. If you are lucky one, poker is easier and two sevens landed directly on the flop, meaning a game over for Pociech for 7,164€.
Dodo Mravík showed a great performance during the final day, who, despite a bad starting situation, made it to third place, for which he won 9,666€.
Few minutes after nine o’clock Daniel Rezaei entered the heads-up with 19 mil. chips in the stack, while home player Vladimir Schwarz entered with 12 million. At that moment, no one would say that a man-to-man fight would last four hours, and the chips would move from side to side. There was no deal, so real poker was played with a good deal of tension.
In the end, the home player Vladimír Schwarz pulled for the shorter end, who, as a runner-up, received a reward of 15,010€!
The twelfth winner of the Banco Casino Masters became the Austrian player Daniel Rezaei, who took home a full prize of 21,681€, a full points entry to the Masters League with a GTD 36,000€ and the biggest trophy. Congratulations not only to the winner, but to all participants who made the Banco Casino Masters one of the most prestigious tournaments organized in Slovakia!
