Babubarsch said after his runner-up finish, "It is my biggest career score, it's very special because it's hard to get to a final table. I play a lot of festivals in Rozvadov, but this has been one of the most entertaining ones, plenty of action and lots of tournaments. I will be coming to The Festival again."
And with that, the blog will be signing off.
That's all for now, folks. Until next time, which will be The Festival Weekend Tallinn from July 1 - July 5.
