Everything You Need to Know for Day 3
In pole position to start the day is France's Mathieu Di Meglio, who bagged a massive 3,125,000 chip stack from his fruitful Day 2 session. He was the only play to finish with more than three million and has a significant lead on Nils Pudel (2,390,000) and Nenad Dukic (2,265,000) who round out the top three chip counts.
World Champion paintballer and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Juha Helppi (400,000) starts the day at the bottom of the pile.
At one stage on Day 2, he had almost one million in his stack, but after being on the wrong side of a boat-over-boat situation against Gregoire Auzoux (1,335,000) he had to nurse his short stack and pick his spots wisely to keep his tournament hopes alive.
Juha Helppi
Despite starting Day 3 in last place on the chip leaderboard, it would be foolish to rule out Helppi's chances.
The Finnish poker player has an impressive seven EPT titles to his name, with his last coming in 2016. And with $8,050,790 in live tournament earnings under his belt, he is without a doubt the most experienced player remaining and is no newcomer to these high-pressure situations.
As mentioned, play will resume at 12 p.m. CET and when the players return to the felt, they will be on Level 27 which features a small blind of 20,000, a big blind of 40,000 and a big blind ante of 40,000.
