MYSTERY BOUNTY SERIES AT BANCO BRATISLAVA ENDS WITH A TRIUMPH FOR LOCAL PLAYER FEDOR STADTRUCKER!
The champion of the very first edition of the Mystery Bounty Series is Fedor Stadtrucker! Want to know who took home the biggest 10,000€ envelope? You’ll find out in this article. You’ll also learn that Banco has added a special extra flight — the Halloween Night Day 1 of the Polish Poker Championship on October 30, due to the massive interest from the poker community in the 500,000€ GTD Main Event. This Thursday, you’ll get a chance to play — with a special bonus for players wearing masks or costumes! Details below…
Banco Bratislava hosted the new Mystery Bounty Series with a guaranteed prize pool of 100,000€. Over the starting days, there were 501 entries, which fell short of meeting the guarantee. Banco Bratislava therefore added 25,000€ to the prize pool for the 63-player field that made it to the money! This generous top-up delighted the players who advanced to yesterday’s final day.
The final day started at 3:00 PM, and in addition to the guaranteed €250 min-cash, players also competed for mystery rewards. For each elimination, the player had a chance to draw a mystery prize from a drum — ranging from €150 up to 10,000€!
The biggest reward from the drum was drawn by Monika Paulenová, who turned a 150€ bounty into 10,000€ even before the tournament ended!
Due to the enormous interest in the Polish Poker Championship 500,000€ GTD, Banco Bratislava decided to add an EXTRA Day 1 flight on October 30, 2025, dubbed HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!
You can look forward to a “chilling” atmosphere even before the flop, as the Banco staff will be dressed in special costumes. Banco has prepared an amazing offer for guests — if you come wearing a mask or costume, you’ll receive a 50% discount (worth 115€) on the Spanish Poker Festival Main Event (150,000€ GTD) taking place in early December.
During the Halloween Special, there will also be exclusive themed drinks for participants in this extra flight, from which the first qualifiers will emerge.
Based on the overwhelming response from the poker community and the sold-out hotels around Banco Bratislava, the Polish Poker Championship 2025 is set to be a record-breaking event, not just in Slovakia! Banco encourages players to take advantage of the early flights of the Championship, which is expected to smash records. After all, a chance to play for 500,000€ GTD for just 150€ doesn’t come every day!
After several hours of play, the final table was formed, with Fedor Stadtrucker starting as the chipleader, and he went on to take it all down — defeating Martin Joachymstal in an all-Slovak heads-up battle. Congratulations!
Mystery Bounty Series 100.000€ GTD:
After the massive Polish Poker Championship, another fan favorite returns — THE FESTIVAL 2025 — featuring a 500,000€ GTD Main Event with a 550€ buy-in. The fifth edition of The Festival at Banco will once again raise the bar, offering 52 events in total. This colorful lineup of tournaments will, as always, attract players from all over the world, and we’re excited that Bratislava will once again become the epicenter of European poker!
