Records to be set, as the Grand Prix Bratislava closes in on the final table

The partypoker Grand Prix joined forces with the Bratislava Poker Festival powered by the Irish Poker Tour for six fantastic days of poker, and here we are at the final day.

Time | Event | Buy-in | Guarantee
11 a.m. | Bratislava Poker Cup Super Satellite | € 50 | 5x seats
12 pm | Grand Prix Final Day | |
1 p.m. | High Roller Final Day | € 3,000 | € 200,000
2 p.m. | Bratislava Poker Cup | € 350 | € 50,000
8 p.m. | Omaha 7-Max | € 300 |
9 p.m. | Last Chance Turbo | € 150 |

For players who have busted the main event, there are still plenty of tournaments to choose from.

The festival has been a massive success with players hungry for the revival of the partypoker LIVE tour. Not only is the atmosphere full of fun and energy, but the partypoker Grand Prix €550 Main Event smashed its lofty €500,000 guarantee with 1,113 entries creating a €542,588 prize pool.

There are 20 players left at the time of writing, with a whopping €120,000 for first place up for grabs. With an average stack of 37 big blinds, there is still plenty of play left for players in the game.

Local player Tabriz Pedram Sarayedarzadeh finished as the Day 1A chip leader and featured on stream across most of the day. His aggressive approach pre flop helped propel him up the leaderboard, and kept the live stream entertained, as he found spots to jam, not just with Aces and Kings, but also found a 3-bet jam with 7-2 offsuit, which got through. With total live cashes at $8967, he is close to equalling his total lifetime winnings.

Other notable names include Greek player Nanos Dimitrios, Hungarian Andras Balogh and Slovakian Tomas Chrobak. A second place finish will give Andras his biggest live cash, whilst a sixth place finish will give Nanos and Tomas their best live cash. Whatever happens at our final table, we are likely to see records broken.

The partypokertv Twitch channel boasted a live stream all week long with an entertaining mix of high-stakes cash games and a huge buy-in Omaha tournament. The final day of the live-streamed action will focus on the final day of the epic partypoker Grand Prix Bratislava Main Event starting on Saturday, July 22 at 2 p.m. local time.
