WSOP Circuit Rozvadov: Iocca Dominates Mini Main Event

Italian Iocco Claims Title in Mini Main Event

One of the highlights of the ongoing WSOP Circuit festival at King’s Resort Rozvadov was the €300 NLH Mini Main Event. The guaranteed €500,000 prize pool attracted significant interest, although the 1,602 entries were just shy of the mark.

In the end, the title went to Andrea Iocco. The Italian player took home his first WSOPC ring and pocketed €62,000, setting a new career-high win.

In the heads-up, Jinxuan Cheng couldn’t match Iocco. The decisive moment came with fairly even stacks when Iocco went all-in with 6 d 6 c against Cheng’s K h Q c. The board 7 h 7 d 2 s 2 h 3 h didn’t favor Cheng, allowing Iocco to celebrate.

Fatos Haxhaj finished third, eliminating five players at the final table but unable to overcome the top two. A very solid result was also achieved by Czech player Jan Tomšovic, who finished 4th as the best local representative.

First Major Victory for Said Jafarli

Another gold ring found its owner in the €660 FiftyStack NLH event. With 231 entries, they slightly exceeded the guaranteed €150,000 prize pool, ultimately set at €152,460.

From the field, Said Jafarli from Azerbaijan claimed the title and the top prize of €29,754 by defeating Germany's Maurice Trapp in the final heads-up, achieving a life-changing triumph. German player Jorge Alves Geraldes finished in third. The final table also featured Czech representation, with local Ondřej Már finishing in 8th place.

The event once again highlighted the strong international presence in Rozvadov, with players from nine countries among the top ten.

One-Day Tournament Brings Luck to Zhelev

The WSOPC program also included the exciting Event #6: €550 Bounty Hunter PLO, attracting players to this action-packed four-card poker format. The tournament blended classic prize payouts with bounty rewards, which significantly impacted the dynamics due to its one-day structure. With 102 entries, the guaranteed prize pool was surpassed, and the largest share went to Danail Zhelev from Bulgaria, who captured both the winning ring and €8,600, excluding bounty rewards.

The final table included local player Marek Rous, who finished 6th. Rous was not far from claiming a second ring in the same format, having won the Bounty Hunter PLO event in 2023.
