The Slovenian Poker Tour (SPT), in collaboration with KKPoker, made its grand return to the “European Poker Mecca,” King’s Resort in Rozvadov, from March 18 – 23, 2026. After a week of intense action and numerous side events, it was Greek chess player Georgios Lekkakos who checkmated the competition to claim the prestigious Main Event title.
The centerpiece of the festival was the €300 SPT Main Event, which boasted a massive €500,000 guaranteed prize pool. The tournament featured eight starting flights, including a unique “Flip and Go Pineapple” day, attracting a diverse field of players. To add more value, every chip leader from the opening flights secured a €1,100 ticket for future major events.
Gomez Casillas Leads 130 Survivors into Day 2
Entering Day 2 on Sunday, March 22, Mexico’s Jose Juan Gomez Casillas held a commanding lead with a staggering 1,364,000 chips (170.5 BB). Out of the massive field, only 130 players managed to fight their way into the second day of play. The action was relentless until only 23 players remained to bag up for the Final Day.
The Final Day kicked off on Monday at 14:00, with the spotlight shining on the final table of nine. Germany’s Dirk Schellenberger was the first to fall in ninth place, taking home €8,225. He was soon followed by Alexandru Radu Dutu, who finished eighth for €10,100.
The pace quickened when Lukasz Sen shoved his K♣9♣ from the button, only to be called by his countryman Kacper Jan Pisarski with J♣J♦ in the small blind. With no king on the board, Sena exited in seventh place for €12,600. Shortly after, Hayk Manasyan shoved 5♣5♠ and was looked up by Lidor Kadosh with 10♠10♦. Manasyan couldn’t find help and finished sixth for €15,800.
The elimination of “Bunjo” in fifth place (€20,200) came after he moved his short stack (6.3 BB) in with K♥5♣, but failed to improve against Jakub Skurzynski’s K♦10♣. Kacper Pisarski then followed in fourth place (€25,900) after a tough hero call on the river with a straight, only to see Kadosh reveal a winning flush.
The tournament reached its heads-up stage after Georgios Lekkakos opened J♠J♦ and called a 23 BB shove from Skurzynski, who held A♣6♠. Jakub’s pair of sixes on board 10♠6♣3♦7♣2♠ were not enough for the jacks, earning him third place and €34,000.
Lekkakos entered the heads-up battle with a significant lead (80 BB vs 32 BB) against Lidor Kadosh. In the final hand, Kadosh 3-bet Q♦8♣ and Lekkakos called with K♦6♣. On A♠7♥K♥ flop, Kadosh went all-in, and Lekkakos snap-called with his pair of Kings. The 6♦ on the turn sealed the deal. Kadosh took €46,500 for his runner-up finish, while Georgios Lekkakos secured the victory and the €74,600 top prize.
