Another stop of the Poker Fever CUP came to a close on Sunday evening. Let’s summarise the highlights and meet the latest winners.
The festival began on September 24th with the Poker Fever Starter event. Buy-in for this tournament was CZK 1,000. There were a total of 126 entries and a prize pool over CZK 1,000,000. 13 players reached the money stage.
The final table was dominated by local players: 8 Czechs and 1 player from Serbia were playing for the win. It all ended with a 3-way deal. Official winner of the tournament was Ladislav Tomášek. Marek Doležel and Milan Svačina were also part of a deal.

On the next day some players sat down to the Main Event, and other players started competing for the win in the one-day High Roller event.
HR
To join the competition one had to pay an entry fee of CZK 7,500. 53 players decided to pay an initial buy-in. Including 31 re-entries, total of 84 registrations were made. This pumped the prize pool up to CZK 541,800.
Nine players made it to the money. This time, the Poles were the most numerous nation on the final table. As it turned out later, this statistical advantage did not help them at all, and the winner of the tournament was Tomáš Macek from the Czech Republic. Before the heads-up he and his fellow countryman Roman Papáček agreed upon a deal and splited the rest of the money almost into two identical halves.
