Just to remind you, this tournament has the second biggest guaranteed prize pool of the entire series!
The HORSES Mixed Games Main Event will also know it's final flight of the tournament, leaving you plenty of space to jump into the evening action as well. Take for example the Mystery Bounty, a tournament with a buy-in of €300, and €100K GTD. Will you be able to secure two times a Day 2, within the same day? It's possible!
The Cash Game Challenge will continue in the evening. Two variants will be played as per usual, PLO and Hold'em, available with stakes of €2/€2. Keep in mind, it does not matter if the stakes are different during the week for this challenge, it's about netting the most profit in terms of big blinds. This makes it fair and square for any type of player, regardless the budget.
Hospitality: Are you aiming to do well during the Casino Games tournaments this week? The hospitality package holders will be able to gain a lot of knowledge by visiting a masterclass, provided to you by King's Casino Rozvadov.
