‘DAMAGE’ Leads Grand Casino Liechtenstein Main Event as Vad Rautka Wins Pineapple

The Grand Casino Liechtenstein (GCLI) continued its Bounty Hunter Days Festival with Day 1C of the CHF 290 BHD Main Event. Alongside satellite action, the festival also featured a CHF 340+100+60 Mayomans PKO Highroller and a CHF 60+20+20 Crazy Pineapple tournament.

Main Event Day 1C Action

Day 1C of the CHF 290 BHD Main Event saw 79 players register, with an additional 24 re-entries. A total of eleven players successfully bagged chips for the final day. The current chip leader is Liechtenstein’s own ‘DAMAGE’, who finished the day with a substantial 892,000 chips, setting a new tournament high stack.

With 80 players and 30 re-entries, the event generated a prize pool of CHF 48,000, surpassing its guarantee. Thirteen players cashed, and as the final eight players remained, a deal was made to play out the remainder of the final table today. The current minimum payout is CHF 1,385, with the winner set to receive CHF 8,415, in addition to any bounties collected.

The chip counts for the Highroller final table show Carolus Martinus van der Linden in the lead with 2,350,000 chips, closely followed by ‘Spartak-666’ with 2,440,000 chips. Paul Felix Plattner and Simon Hölzer are also strong contenders.
