Sweden's Martin Kanaker made Value Town proud by becoming the first player to win an event at the 2023 The Festival Series Bratislava after defeating Matthew Adams heads-up in Event #4: €125 Crazy Pineapple for €1,565. Morten Lie, Andre Sorm, Coolbet's Svein Olav Eidsaeter, and Anders Beckman also managed to cash in this event. A three-way deal was made to even out the payouts before Kanaker went onto shipping the bacon.
While we will interview Kanaker hopefully later today, we did learn that he won the prop bet against fellow countrymate Adam Tomasson. The duo bet a fancy dinner of the winner's choice. The rules were simple, the last player among the two to table seven-deuce as a winning hand would win the bet!
Congrats to Kanaker for winning the side event along with the prop bet. We will find out later which was more important.
