Kitai Leads Charge for EPT Berlin Title
Another stop along the European Poker Tour, another final table and another champion to be crowned. That's what's on the docket today here at EPT Berlin.
The Main Event is down to its final eight players, led by Belgian World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Davidi Kitai. He's joined by notables Andrew Chen, Mario Puccini and César García.
Yesterday's action saw the field get cut from three tables down to just one. Everyone left has locked up a minimum payday of €72,000, but they're all licking their chips at the €825,000 that rests up top for the eventual winner. We don't know who's going to claim the top prize just yet, but we can tell you that whoever it is will be earning their first EPT title.
Coming into Day 4, there were still three former EPT champions in the mix, but none of them have made it to the final day. Vladimir Geshkenbein (10th - €51,000), Anton Wigg (14th - €30,000) and Kevin MacPhee (19th - €20,000) were the three former champions in the final 24.
