The trophy awaits one of the 19 remaining players when the final day of the Merit Poker Carmen Series $3,300 Main Event begins at 1 p.m. local time.

Maxime Chilaud is once again the man the rest of the field is trying to track down as he takes a chip-leading stack of 10,475,000 into Day 4. Behind him are Fausto Tantillo (8,950,000), Simeon Spasov (7,540,000), Eduard Barsegian (6,280,000), and Walter Treccarichi (5,740,000). Barsegian has been on a run for the ages at this festival, with two final table appearances already. He’ll try to make it a third today.

Further down the leaderboard are Michael Magalashvili (3,855,000), Denis Kapustin (3,615,000), Atanas Pavlov (3,025,000), Roman Kolotiuk (2,280,000), and Davut Aydemir, who is trying to follow in his father Recep’s footsteps and make it to the final table. He’ll have his work cut out for him as he’s near the bottom of the leaderboard with 2,095,000.

The final 19 players are all that’s left of a massive field of 765 entries that crowded the poker room of the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino in North Cyprus. They’ve already guaranteed themselves $17,070, but all eyes will be on the $376,800 top prize and coveted Merit Poker title.

Play picks up on Level 29, with blinds of 60,000-120,000 and a 120,000 big blind ante. The feature table will be streamed on a delay on Merit Poker’s YouTube and Facebook channels.

There will be a new champion by the end of the day, and PokerNews will be following all the action and providing live updates until there is just one man left standing.
