Who Wants £750,000?
Welcome to the final day of the 2011 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour London Poker Festival Main Event. At the end of the day, we'll have a winner crowned from one of the eight remaining players, which sets the stage for a great day of poker to come.
Leading the way into the final table is Brit Martins Adeniya. He's got a pretty big cushion over Mattias Bergstrom in second place -- 4.736 million in chips to 3.62 million -- but that doesn't necessarily mean he's the one we'll be crowning champion at the end. Young stars Benny Spindler, Kevin Iacofano and Steve O'Dwyer are also in contention and Juan Manuel Pastor provides the speed bump of a Team PokerStars Pro.
Each player has locked up £64,000 in prize money for making it this far, but with £750,000 up top, they should all be salivating at the opportunity in front of them. To put that into context, given today's exchange rate that's over $1.15 million to the winner.
