Friday Madness at Showdown: Ludovit Schmidt conquers a full house and takes 34,000 Kč!
Friday night at Showdown looked exactly the way we like it – absolutely full tables, an incredible atmosphere at both the tournament and the cash games. The main attraction was the Friday Madness with a 1,000+100 Kč buy-in and an enticing 200,000 Kč guarantee.
Despite a great turnout of 107 unique players, who produced a total of 190 entries through 83 re-entries, the casino had to slightly top up the prize pool, which was fantastic news for all the bounty hunters present.
A fight to the finish and a solidary bubble
Initially, 13 paid positions (ITM) were prepared, but the players sportingly agreed on a consolation prize for 14th place, so that even the "bubble boy" wouldn't leave empty-handed. This symbolic 2,000 Kč reward was ultimately taken by Tomáš.
Unlike many other nights, there was no deal this time. The tournament was played down to a single winner, who became Ludovit Schmidt. He defeated Roman Turmys in heads-up and collected the full 34,000 Kč for his dominant performance. Third place went to Alayham Ghanem.
