The Festival: The Final 22 Revealed, Estonian Richard Koppel Leads the Race for 91.001€

Article cover

The Main Event at The Festival Rozvadov 2025 wrapped up its second day of play yesterday, with several last-chance qualifiers filling out the field. Action kicked off at 11:00 with Turbo flight 1G, drawing 147 entries. The very last route into Day 2 came through the Flip and Go Pineapple qualifiers, which added five more players to the mix. That brought the final number of entries to an impressive 1.053!

Day 2 was every bit as demanding as anticipated, with 135 survivors returning to vie for the title. Each player had already locked up a 1.000€ min-cash, but all eyes were set firmly on the biggest prize—an eye-popping 91.001€ awaiting the eventual winner.

The plan was to play down to the last 24, but after a flurry of late eliminations, just 22 players will return for the final day. Estonian Richard Koppel is the man to beat, having spun his 50k starting stack up to a massive 6.375.000. Hometown fans will also have reason to cheer, as two Czech players—Ondřej Már and Tomáš Fára—are still in contention.
