The Poles are coming back. That almost sounds like a threat, but it’s actually the start of a great week of poker at
Banco Bratislava. Before the “invasion” begins on Monday, there’s plenty of action today and tomorrow at two warm-up tournaments.
When the Poles hit the Banco, it’s a state of emergency. The 2025 Spring Polish Poker Cup attracted
2,986 entries (buy-in €140). Since then, the fan base has grown even larger. Most recently, at the Winter Polish Poker Cup in February—when a €75 + 75 Mystery Bounty was played—a European record of 3,839 entries was set. Vitalii Shcherba—who, by the way,
also won the €1,000 Super High Roller at last year’s Spring Cup—
came out on top and took home €42,796 + €3,455.So one could simply say that the €250,000 guaranteed prize pool for next week’s €150 Spring Polish Poker Cup is just for show, since countless Poles have already confirmed their attendance. German-speaking players, as well as international and Slovak players, are also expected in large numbers. By the way, Day 1A is actually already on Monday. Those who prefer smaller fields should choose one of the earlier flights.This weekend, the Banco is offering two perfect opportunities to warm up. Tonight, the €50 Warm-up features a prize pool of €10,000 (including 5 x €170 BCM tickets). The conditions are 50,000 chips and 25/20-minute levels; for a €10 add-on, you’ll receive 15,000 bonus chips. Tomorrow, the second €100 Warm-up guarantees €20,000 (including 9 x €170 GCM tickets). In this Monster Stack event, players start with 100,000 chips (€10 add-on for 25k) and 30/20-minute levels.
On Sunday, there will be another Cash Game Night before the “Poles take over” starting Monday. You can also look forward to plenty of cash game action; games will be played daily starting at €1/3 NLH or €2/2 PLO with various promotions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Marketing Manager
