Who Will Reach The Final Table of the 2019 EPT Barcelona Main Event?
The penultimate day of the record-breaking PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona €5,300 Main Event awaits as of 12 p.m. noon local time when 16 hopefuls out of a field of 1,988 entries will return to their seats at Casino Barcelona. All of the remaining players have at least €71,400 locked up for their efforts and the biggest slice of the huge €9,641,800 prize pool is still up for grabs.
In two day's time, a life-changing score of €1,659,000 awaits to the eventual champion and Portugal's Rui Sousa leads the sweet sixteen heading into Day 5 with a stack of 6,980,000. Three other players have more than 5 million in chips to their name and Marton Czuczor already knows what it feels like to run deep in an EPT Main Event as he finished second to Jasper Meijer van Putten in Prague in 2016. Czuczor will enter Day 5 with 6,065,000.
Yunye Lu (5,490,000) is third in chips and will aim to become the first-ever Chinese EPT Main Event champion, a feat that Haoxiang Wang narrowly missed out on back in 2018 right here in Barcelona. Lu's countryman Jiayuan Liu (3,485,000) is also among the contenders for Day 5 as well. Balakrishna Patur follows with a stack of 5,470,000 and Pasquale Braco rounds out the top 5 with a stack of 4,485,000.
Also in contention on the penultimate day are Johan Storakers (4,200,000), two-time EPT Main Event finalist Kully Sidhu (3,460,000), Alexander Ivarsson (3,085,000), Shannon Shorr (1,830,000) and Diego Falcone (1,800,000).
There are 15:40 left to be played in Level 27 with blinds at 30,000/60,000 and a big blind ante of 60,000. The PokerNews updates for both tables will be published according to the live stream on a security delay of 30 minutes and Day 5 will conclude once the final six players have been reached. Stay tuned for more to find out who will make one step closer to becoming the next EPT Main Event champion!
