A part of the conversation revolved around criticisms towards the club's management regarding the distribution of the prize zone. Sergey expressed his support for Marlan's sentiments, stating that the current prize zone structure is not beneficial to anyone, and that the number of prize places should be based on the number of unique entries, which was estimated at around 150.
The tournament started promptly, with 14 participants eliminated before the break, followed by the formation of the final table an hour later.
During the final day, a few exciting hands were described in Valera's broadcast, including a new auto-all-in on the button with Baurjan T. and Sulik, and a fierce clash between Turkey and Ecuador.
