Mini Main Event Obliterates Guarantee at WSOP Circuit Bratislava

Day 2 of the 2026 WSOP Circuit Bratislava kept the momentum going at Card Casino Šamorín on Saturday, as two more starting flights of the €350 Mini Main Event blew well past both its own guarantee and last year’s numbers, turning what was already a strong start into a full-blown stampede. Meanwhile, the first of four flights in the €550 NLH Mystery Bounty got the festival’s second Ring Event underway.

Mini Main Event Crushes the Guarantee… And Then Some

There were crazy scenes at Card Casino Šamorín as the second day of the festival brought two more starting flights of the €350 Mini Main Event, and it was apparent almost immediately that this was shaping up to be a record-breaking day. Day 1C alone drew 485 new entries, already blowing past the €300,000 guarantee with two more flights still to come.

Even last year’s numbers, a field of 1,154 entries that saw Hungary’s Zoltán Szarka collect the ring and €56,000, started to look like child’s play. The evening flight Day 1D added another 343 entries, pushing the overall field to 1,380 entries across four flights, with one more hyper turbo flight still on the schedule for Sunday. The prize pool already sits at €420,128.

Fifty-seven players who survived the first two flights have now been joined by 49 out of Day 1C and 35 out of Day 1D.

Day 1C produced the two biggest stacks of the event so far, with a pair of Hungarians setting the pace: Benjamin Lakatos bagged up 1,100,000, with countryman Daniel Falus not far behind at 1,030,000, and both comfortably clear of the rest of the field. Bulgaria’s Danail Balkanski matched that feat out of Day 1D, also crossing the million-chip mark, while home favorite Martin Korman inserts himself in the current top 10 with 805,000.

Mystery Bounty Gets Underway With Day 1A

The second Ring Event of the festival, the €550 NLH Mystery Bounty, also kicked off on Saturday with Day 1A, the first of four starting flights that will run from Saturday through Tuesday. The event carries a €200,000 guarantee, and 42 players jumped in for a shot at building a stack ahead of the final day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5.

Seven players survived the day, all of whom are already in the money and now have juicy mystery boutnies to chase once they start on the final day. Ukraine’s Anton Hritsov leads the way with 360,000 in chips, good for 36 big blinds, ahead of the rest of the field heading toward Wednesday’s finale.
