Welcome to the Final Day of the 2014 partypoker WPT National Prague
As of 14:00 CET, the remaining 19 players out of a field of 251 entries in the €1,800 + €200 World Poker Tour National Main Event at the Corinthia Hotel in Prague will battle for the title and first-place prize of €105,000. Simeon Naydenov leads the field with 821,000 in chips, but the World Series of Poker Bracelet winner faces stiff competition from online legend Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen (794,000) and Zo Karim (615,000). Karim is no stranger at the tables and his largest-ever score came from a third place at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown in April 2013 for $252,190.
Other notables include tournament director Artur Voskanyan (564,000), WPT Cyprus 2014 champion and WPT Prague 2012 runner-up Alexander Lakhov (554,000), Alex Goulder (484,000), Sebastian Langrock (441,000) and former football star Sergej Barbarez (427,000). Jean-Philippe Piquette (99,000) and Vladimir Velikov (82,000) will be among the shortest stacks when play resumes in level 19 at blinds 4,000-8,000 / ante 1,000.
After the next bustout, the field will be redrawn to the final two tables and the official eight-handed final table will then be streamed live on the internet with a delay of 30 minutes. The minimum payout is €4,600 and the PokerNews team will be back at the King's Casino to bring you all the crucial hands until the winner is crowned.
