Travel Journal: Kings Casino & Resort – How I won 35.000€ playing poker!

    After winning some money on my last trip, it was time to play another tournament at Kings Casino Rozvadov (Czech Republic). It was 290€ Buy-in and it was called the Benelux Classics Mystery Bounty Edition.

    The Buy-in was split in 160€ for the main prize pool, 100€ for the Mystery Bounty and 30€ Fee. Mystery Bounty means that if you knock out a player at day 2 of the event, you will get a bounty between 100€ and 25.000€. Of course, there were a lot of 100€ bounties and only one 25k bounty. I was able to qualify for the second day and found a bag to put my chips in.

    This time, I stayed directly at one of the hotel rooms in the casino.

    Before the start of day 2, I went to eat at the restaurant inside of the casino. I had a Caesar Salad with salmon. Also, check out the Mystery Bounties!

    Poker went great on day 2 and I was able to win 10.500€ in bounties. I cashed two 100€, one 300€ and a massive 10.000€ in bounties! I also managed to qualify for the final day of the tournament.

    Monday is the quietest day at the casino, and I parked my car in front of a nearly empty entrance:

    I started the day with an orange juice, a coffee and a hookah:

    I also found out that I was directly starting on the feature table. This meant that my table was streamed on Twitch and YouTube! You can watch the whole Day 3 in English or German:

    Do not read on, if you want to watch the video first. I will spoil my result right now! With 8 players left, we split up the rest of the bounties between the remaining players. Afterwards, we played down to 4 players and split up the rest of the prize pool. I finished in 3rd place and therefor I also won a ticket for the 10.350€ Buy-in Main Event of the World Series of Poker Europe. I will post about that tournament later. Altogether, I won 25.000€ (combined bounties and from the prize pool) and the 10.350€ ticket for the tournament.
    Hope you enjoyed this report, and you should visit Kings Casino & Resort. Especially if you like playing big poker tournaments!

    Good luck
