Once again Michał “Warg” Wargin from Poland, a player who apparently has a ultimate license to win at the Go4Games Casino Hodolany in Olomouc, was the last man standing in the Poker Fever CUP (X-mas edition). Let’s quickly recap our recent event.
Poker Fever CUP Special
The entry fee was CZK 1,500. The GTD prize pool was CZK 1,000,000. From the very begining we felt that the large overlay was coming, but the turbo flight saved the day to the point that we came short only of CZK 5,000. This was really good considering that the December festival happened right before Christmas.
92 players came back to tables on a final day (Sunday). 71 of them managed to enter the ITM stage. The lowest payout was CZK 3,000 and the winner was awarded CZK 161,500 (CZK 150.400 because of a deal).
After the elimination of the last player from Czechia Petr Mikuláček, the two Poles – Igor Hupalo and Michal Wargin – agreed to a deal and the tournament was over. Michał Wargin was announced the winner of the Poker Fever CUP X-mas edition. He recieved CZK 150.400 and a trophy. The runner-up was Igor Hupalo and he earnd CZK 127.800.
