Day 4 of the 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event Ready To Rock
Day 4 of the 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €5,300 Main Event will kick off at 12 p.m. local time in Monaco today with 74 players looking to ladder up and contend for one of poker's most prestigious titles.
The money bubble burst on Day 3, meaning no one will leave empty handed today, but all eyes are surely fixed on the big cash up top, including the €961,800 first-place prize.
The current chip leader is Poland's Marcin Chmielewski, one of only three players who are up and over the one-million chip mark, including Natan Chauskin and Roman Korenev.
Going wire-to-wire from here will be no easy task, however, with Italian High Roller Dario Sammartino (902,000), Brazilian World Series of Poker bracelet winner Thiago Nishijima (848,000), 2014 France Player of the Year Erwann Pecheux (818,000), Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo (807,000), 2009 November Niner Antoine Saout (626,000), and Team PokerStars Pros Vanessa Selbst (616,000), and Randy Lew (455,000) among those within striking distance.
The plan is to play another five 90-minute levels and the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on hand for them all.
Stay tuned right here as the chase for the 2016 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event title moves into overdrive.
