The opening event of the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe is drawing to a close and the first gold bracelet of this year's series will be handed out today. Only 10 players remain in Event #1: €550 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em and soon enough, one of them will be walking away with the title and €203,820.
Coming into the final day, Hannes Neurauter may be in the best position of anyone. Neurauter bagged up an impressive 11,825,000 chips, only 50,000 behind the chipleader. However, the German drew the seat directly to the left of Wojciech Wyrebski who sits with 11,875,000. Having position on the only other big stack at the table could prove to be beneficial for Neurauter as the day progresses.
As for the rest of the players, it is a relatively unknown final table with everyone making their first appearance on a final table in a WSOP event. One thing is for sure, whoever comes out on top by the end of the day will record their largest cash to date with over €200,000 for first place. Here is how the final table stacks up.
