The eight remaining players will be slugging it out tomorrow for a first place prize of €595,839. All eyes will be on the young Norwegian pro Johnny Lodden, who made his first final table on the EPT despite numerous amount of cashes in EPT events over the last couple of years. Lodden is one of the most popular players on the tournament circuit. He's also among three Scandis at the final table, of which, Martin Jacobson (Sweden) and Albert Iversen (Denmark) both held the chip lead at different junctures in the tournament. Two veteran Italian players made the final table in Marino Serenelli and Gino Alacqua. The only British player left, the altruistic Will Fry, mentioned that he'll donate his winnings to charity. The last standing Romanian, Ciprian Hrisca, was the chipleader early on during Day 3 before he lost it to Zoltan Toth.
Zoltan Toth will be representing the host country since he's the only Hungarian to advance to the final table. Toth will begin the final table as the chipleader.
562 players bought into the first ever EPT event in Hungary. The total prize pool is €2,128,000 which makes it the largest ever tournament in the history of the country. 42 players advanced to Day 3. Here's a list of players who cashed on Day 3...
