Special edition of Poker Fever CUP has drawn to a close. The two most important tournaments were won by Bartosz Flisiewicz (Main Event) and “Pavel 53” (Mini High Roller). To be honest, there is one more big winner of the last festival. It is you. You managed to set a new fantastic attendance record.
Yes, we are fully aware that it was a reduced buy-in PFC edition, but anyway, 916 registrations made a huge impression on us and the Casino Management. You are simply the best and we would like to thank you for that.
Now, let’s move to the quick recap of the entire event.
Mini High Roller
55 unique players paid CZK 7,500 in order to participate in a Mini High Roller on Friday. With 18 re-entries the total prize pool elevated to CZK 547,500. Eight players managed to get to the ITM phase. The min-cash was worth CZK 15.500.
At the end of the day two local players “Pavel 53” and “Proximus“ managed to score the biggest win. While in heads-up they decided to chop the prize pool and each of them took home CZK 116,000. The third place finisher was Jakub Szczotka of Poland, who earned CZK 70,600 for his brilliant performance.

Poker Fever CUP
The Main Event of the series had its buy-in lowered to CZK 1,500. Then there were five instead of four starting flights which helped build the prize pool of 916 buy-ins. This number looks absoulutely stunning. There were CZK 1,370.000 to distribute and top-89 players left the casino with various cash prizes.
The biggest part of the prize pool – CZK 221,700 – was awarded to the winner Bartosz Flisiewicz of Poland. It is worth mentioning that the runner-up of this event Michał Wargin was an inch away of becoming the first winner of two major titles in Poker Fever history. Ultimately he had to recognize the superiority of his worthy opponent in a Sunday’s heads-up game. Still an amazing achievement.
Vladimír Burstein finished third and he collected CZK 109.900 for his amazing performance.
