Russian high roller and partypoker Ambassador Anatoly Filatov leads the last six players on with a stack of 2,600,000, but right behind him is Serbia's Aleksandar Tomovic who bagged and tagged 2,475,000. Boris Kotleba (2,060,000), Kacper Pyzara (1,360,000), Andre Haneberg (1,000,000) and Hoa Bui Chi (550,000) round out the remaining finalist, who will return at midday local time to crown a champion. The event was initially scheduled to play down to a winner yesterday already, but after the elimination of Josef Gulas in 7th place for €9,000, the remaining contenders agreed to bag up for the night and get some much-needed sleep.
