EPT Berlin Day 4: Wright Leads Going Into Penultimate Day
Hello and welcome back to the European Poker Tour Berlin Main Event where at 12:00 CET the penultimate day's play will get underway. Twenty-four players will sit down in the vast ballroom of the luxurious Hyatt hotel in the heart of the German capital but by the time play comes to an end and a fine layer of dust settles (only for swarm of cleaners to come clean it up again) we will have our eight-handed final table.
The man who leads going into Day 4 is British pro Marc Wright whose first task will be to un-bag and re-stack 2.4 million chips. Hot on the heels of young Wright is Tomas Cibak with 2.311 million in chips — the only other player to pass the two million chip mark.
It is going to be impossible to get through today's action without mentioning the fact we have three former EPT champions still in the field. Regular readers of these pages will be more than aware that nobody has ever won two EPT Main Events in the tour's eight season history but Vladimir Geshkenbein, Anton Wigg and Kevin MacPhee each have the chance to make poker history here in Berlin.
Each of the 24 players have now guaranteed themselves a €20,000 pay day but by the time the tournament director calls time on proceedings and our final table is set they will all be taking home no less than €72,000, which is slightly more than your dedicated bloggers will be taking home this week!
Join Donnie Peters, Marc Convey and myself Matthew Pitt from midday for all the action, as it happens, from the EPT Berlin Main Event.
