The final day of the Highroller was attended by 18 players who brought promotion chips from the opening day. The Deep tournament brought many interesting spots and the finalists fought with all their strength. Around seven o'clock in the evening, a final table was formed, to which the following line-up fought its way:

Martin Mulson left the final line-up first, followed by chip leader from Austria Perica Pavič Nikolič. Michal Proksa took seventh place, followed by home player Andrej Cintula and Tomáš Chmela became the bubble boy of Highroller. From that moment on, everyone who dropped out received a financial reward. Michal "Duklaak" Masaryk was eliminated in the first paid place for 2,200€ and the third place with a reward of 3,100€ went to Austria for Michael Schmalnauer.

Andrej Desset and Jozef Krajan fought their way to the heads-up. It seemed like a clear matter for Desset, but poker can sometimes be cruel. Heads up of these two fighters lasted one hundred minutes,where the poker “Dame Fortune” decided everything. Andrej Desset finished as a runner up Highroller for 4,700€.

Jozef Krajan became the champion of the Slovak Series Of Poker Highroller, leaving 30 players behind and taking home a prize of 7,945€ and the title of champion from Banco Casino Bratislava for his excellent performance!
