The Progressive Bounty event at the Balkan Poker Championship has attracted strong interest, as both Day 1A and Day 1B are now complete.

A total of 206 entries and 69 re-entries were recorded across the two flights, creating a field of 275 entries. The prize pool comfortably surpassed its guarantee, reaching €37,125, with €23,375 allocated to the regular prize pool and €13,750 in bounties (PKO portion).

After two action-packed starting flights, 36 players successfully secured their spot in Day 2 ITM, where they will return to continue their run for the title, the bounties, and a share of the prize pool.

Manolis Zacharakis emerged as the overall chip leader from both flights, finishing on top of the counts and carrying the biggest stack into Day 2.
