Hand-for-hand play is currently in operation here at Banco Bratislava. Below are the big stacks in the room. Riku Koivurinne is on short-stack duties and will need a spin-up if he is to win the record-breaking Sviten Special. He won the previous event, which held the record, and he will hold one of the most unique records in poker if he is successful today. Fabio Bianchi (pictured) is the current chip-leader.
