Wright Leads Final 24 in Berlin
That's all she wrote for Day 3 here in Berlin for the European Poker Tour Main Event. Walking into the tournament room today were 102 hopefuls, but only 24 of them made it to the bag-and-tag portion of the night. Heading the final three tables is Marc Wright with 2.4 million in chips.
Wright was the man crushing the tournament for most of the day and seemed to be unstoppable for the most part. Right at the end of the day, he missed a big draw with the against an opponent's pocket tens after all of the money went in on the flop.
Kevin MacPhee, the Season 6 winner of the EPT Berlin Main Event, is still in contention and has advanced to Day 4 with 430,000 in chips. Our very own Lynn Gilmartin caught up with him during one of the breaks on Thursday and you can check out that interview below.
MacPhee's not the only former EPT champion hanging around, though. Both Anton Wigg and Vladimir Geshkenbein have EPT titles and finished on 973,000 and 1,053,000, respectively.
Tomorrow's penultimate day will see the final 24 whittled down to just eight, all of whom will be seated at the final table on Saturday. Everyone left is guaranteed at least €20,000 and the top prize is €825,000. Be sure to return to PokerNews tomorrow at noon local time for all of the action from the felt. We'll see you back here then.
