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.

Ionut Dragomir opened to 55,000 from the hijack and Kai Fuong three-bet to 175,000 from the small blind. Dragomir made the call.
The flop came K♣Q♥J♣ and Fuong moved all in for just over 700,000. Dragomir made the call with a slightly covering stack to put Fuong at risk.
Kai Fuong: A♠K♠
Ionut Dragomir: A♣8♣
Fuong was ahead with top pair but still had to fade Dragomir's nut-flush draw. The 9♠ turn was a brick but the 10♣ river brought the flush in to give Dragomir a full double up while Fuong became the first final table casualty.
