Friday Madness at Showdown: Petr Vlček dominates a field of 200 entries and takes over 40k
Friday night at Showdown belonged to the 2nd event of our spring Showdown Festival, event number 023 – Friday Madness. The sight of a packed casino from the very first levels signaled that it would be true "madness." The 200,000 CZK guarantee narrowly succumbed to the onslaught of players who arrived to fight not only for financial rewards but also for special trophies.
The final numbers speak for themselves: 116 unique players supplemented by 85 re-entries pushed the total number of registrations to a beautiful 201 entries.
The battle for the final and 1M GTD tickets
As part of the prize pool, the top four players also received tickets to the upcoming 1,000,000 CZK GTD major, which kicks off at Showdown on April 9th.
The conclusion of the tournament belonged to Petr Vlček, who managed to navigate all the pitfalls of the final table and walked away with the winning prize of 40,040 CZK without a deal. Second place and 29,100 CZK were won by Ondřej Hevele, while Tamas Szabo took the bronze. The quartet of ticket winners is rounded off by the player nicknamed "Lůzr123".
