Players with the hospitality package had fun playing "Find Anastasia" as she hid in various pubs and other locales throughout Bratislava as a fun hide-and-seek type of game. Now, we might need to play "Find Franke" instead as he is noticeably missing from the final event of The Festival Series Bratislava in the €1,100 OFC High Roller.
The Festival Series founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk found out that he won the Cash Game Challenge for a second straight The Festival Series after also winning this prize at The Festival Series Malta in May. He was up most of the night celebrating and we did see him win a pot or two earlier today in cash games. He typically doesn't miss the €1,100 OFC High Roller, but today might be a first.
Meanwhile, Scott "Pokerbrahs" Kenyon pulled ahead by default in the Player of the Series competition simply by entering the High Roller. Wouter Schuurbiers, Risto Ponnio, and Johnny Johansen were all warming up with games leading up to the event with a fun variant involving both deuce-seven and badugi for the middle hand.
Best of luck to all of the OFC aficionados. The field currently stands at nine entries but is bound to grow before late registration closes.
