After four days that included five starting flights the final day of the EAPT Madrid €560 Main Event is set to begin in just a few short hours at the Casino Gran Via. Only nine players remain from a field of 305 entrants and all nine will have the shared goal of claiming the top prize of €35,475.
Fernando Celdran enters the final table with a massive lead over the rest of the field. His stack of 3,710,000 is worth more than triple that of any of his opponents except his nearest competitor Marius Moldoveanu who will be entering the final table with 2,655,000. The other seven players will have their work cut out for them as Celdran and Moldoveanu hold just over half the total chips in play between the two of them.
