Rastislav Paleta poker news stories, interviews, and recaps. Seat 3: Rastislav Paleta, Czech Republic - 1,400,000 It has been an incredible week for Rastislav Paleta here in Rozvadov. While playing in the Main Event day 1a, he outlined the plan for the festival - to make two final tables. And with getting there in the Main Event, his mission is accomplished.

It wouldn't be a true festival if there were only a Main Event and High Roller on the schedule. Here at King's Casino in Rozvadov there's plenty for players to enjoy; even those with smaller bankrolls.

For half the cost of Main Event entry, the €550 PokerStars Super Deep tournament - which kicked off on Sunday March 5th - attracted a healthy 304 entries (246 unique players + 58 re-entries), creating a €147,440 prize pool. A sixth of those total entries - or 55, if we're being precise - got paid, but all were aiming to end with all the chips and add €25,769 to their wallets.

Only one player could do it of course, and that player was Oleksandr Strokolis. He outlasted a tough final table, and ultimately took down his first ever tournament - which also happened to be his first ever live cash!

Here's a look at how the final table finished up:

Strokolis is a cash game grinder by trade, usually found at the NL200 and 400 tables on PokerStars. The 24-year-old from Kiev only came down to the PokerStars Festival Rozvadov with the intention of playing some cash games, but when a bit of bad luck made him question his decision, he changed the course of action and hopped in the Super Deep instead. What a decision that turned out to be!

The fourth place finisher was Daniel Harwood, who you may recognise from January's coverage of the PokerStars Festival London. Harwood was our runner-up in that Main Event for a very impressive £95,000, and his hot streak has travelled over with him to Rozvadov. With this result, Harwood adds a further €10,249 to his career earnings, which now sit at $287,988.

The runner-up, Domenico Gala, received €18,951 for his efforts. This is the second time the Italian player has reached a final table here at King's Casino, as only last year he was eliminated in ninth place for €9,920 at the Eureka6 Rozvadov Main Event.

Another of the bigger tournaments at the beginning of the schedule was the €275 PokerStars Open. That event attracted 740 entries, creating a €179,450 prize pool which smashed the €100K guarantee. Here's how that one ended:
