The 2026 WSOP Super Circuit Main Event at King's Resort recorded a reported €485,000 overlay after attracting 505 entries against its €2 million guarantee. Vito Branciforte won the tournament for €370,000, defeating Stanislaw Miadzel heads-up.
The 2026 WSOP Super Circuit Main Event at King's Resort Rozvadov fell €485,000 short of its €2 million guarantee, despite awarding the advertised €370,000 first-place prize to champion Vito Branciforte.
The €3,000 tournament attracted 505 entries, leaving a substantial overlay before staffing costs were deducted from the buy-in. The shortfall was part of a wider trend at the November festival, where 12 of the 13 ring events carrying guarantees reportedly finished with overlays.
Branciforte emerged from the field with the WSOP Circuit gold ring and €370,000 after defeating Poland's Stanislaw Miadzel heads-up. Miadzel collected €245,000 for second place, while Mohsen Borhani completed the podium with €171,000.
€485,000 Overlay Leaves Main Event Short of Guarantee
The €3,000 WSOP Super Circuit Main Event carried a €2 million guarantee but finished with 505 entries. According to PokerNews, the turnout produced a €485,000 overlay before staffing costs were deducted from the buy-in.
The tournament needed another 323 entries to reach the advertised guarantee. Despite missing that target, the organisers awarded the guaranteed payouts, ensuring the champion received the full €370,000 first-place prize.
The Main Event was not an isolated case during the Rozvadov festival. PokerNews reported that 12 of the 13 ring events with guarantees generated overlays.
The scheduling of other major European poker festivals was also highlighted in the report. The inaugural WSOP Super Circuit Madrid ran alongside much of the Rozvadov series, while the WSOP Super Circuit UK was taking place at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.
Vito Branciforte Claims €370,000 and First WSOP Circuit Ring
While the Main Event missed its guarantee, Branciforte secured the biggest individual payout of the festival's headline tournament.
The Italian player, who lives in Germany, qualified for the €3,000 event through a GGPoker Ring Pass satellite. He entered the nine-handed final table with 5.23 million chips and maintained his position at the top through the final stages.
