The 2026 WSOP Circuit Bratislava has been a hugely successful 12-day festival from start to finish at Card Casino Šamorín, just outside Bratislava, Slovakia, and it’s now down to its penultimate day, with just one decision left to make: who walks away with the gold ring, €235,000, and a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package in the Main Event. Only nine players remain, and Hungary’s Laszlo Janoszki is still on top.

One ring was awarded on Monday, too, as Ring Event #12 €1,000 NLH Last Chance, crowned its champion. Ukraine’s Dmytro Smyrnov came out on top for €43,815.

Janoszki Eyes a Wire-to-Wire Win as Main Event Final Table Is Set

The numbers behind this year’s Main Event still don’t get any less staggering. A record 1,160 entries smashed the €1,000,000 guarantee to build a €1,472,120 prize pool, the biggest in Card Casino Šamorín’s history. Now, after 24 players started Day 3 on Monday, just nine remain heading into Tuesday’s final table.

Still on top of the counts is Hungary’s Laszlo Janoszki, with a massive 11,325,000 in chips. Janoszki has been the chip leader out of Day 1A, again after Day 2, and now at the start of the final table. The question now is whether he can complete the set and go wire-to-wire?

It’s a stacked final table with plenty of recognizable names. Closest to Janoszki is his fellow countryman Bence Paris with 10,600,000, with Ukraine’s Rostyslav Sabishchenko sitting third at 8,500,000. Home-country hopes for a ring rest with Tomas Kubaliak, who bagged up 5,650,000 on Monday.

Everyone at the final table has already locked up €17,390, but all nine have their eyes on the €235,000 top prize, the coveted gold ring, and a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package that comes with a trip to the Bahamas in December. Play resumes at 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday, with the livestream hosted by Bobby James and poker.pro’s own Head of Media, Jason Glatzer, kicking off half an hour later. Tune in down below.

Smyrnov Wins Ring Event #12: €1,000 NLH Last Chance

The €1,000 NLH Last Chance lived up to its name as the final ring of the festival for anyone still looking to book their ticket to the Bahamas. Its second day began Monday with 72 players already bagged up from Day 1, but a heap of late registrations poured in over the first two levels. An additional 77 players jumped in, raising the total field to 219 entries and pushing the prize pool to €187,245, almost double the original guarantee.

After nearly 12 hours of play stretching into the early hours of Tuesday, Ukraine’s Dmytro Smyrnov claimed his first-ever WSOP Circuit ring along with €43,815, comfortably the best result of his career. His previous highlights include a win at the Kyiv Open Cup 2026 in May for $14,363 and a 14th-place finish at the EPT Monte Carlo PokerStars Open Main Event for €18,100. On top of the ring and the cash, Smyrnov will also be flying to the Bahamas in December for the WSOP Paradise.

In the heads-up, he beat Bulgaria’s Angel Dimitrov, who had to console himself with €28,990, also a career-best cash. Home player Lukas Pazma rounded out the podium in third for €19,730.
