Who'll Be The PokerStars Championship Monte-Carlo €25,750 High Roller Champion?
At 12:30 p.m. local time, the final day of the 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® €25,750 High Roller will kick off. A massive first place prize of €1,015,000 awaits the victor tonight, and 27 players are still in contention to add those seven figures to their bankroll. The bubble burst late last night; all remaining players are in the money and guaranteed at least €45,080.
The field is led by Thomas Muehloecker from Austria, who will start the day with 887,000 in chips. Muehloecker is followed by a slew of very accomplished players such as Charlie Carrel (747,000), Dario Sammartino (690,000), Adrian Mateos (562,000), John Juanda (510,000), the PokerStars Team Pros Igor Kurganov (279,000) and Felipe Ramos (239,000), Aliaksei Boika (235,000), Sylvain Loosli (220,000), Dmitry Yurasov (216,000), Philipp Gruissem (201,000), Martin Jacobson (153,000) and Daniel Dvoress (108,000).
It's Dvoress' fourth cash in a high roller tournament at the 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®, an incredible feat in these world-class fields. The Canadian final tabled the other three events but has to work his way up from one of the shortest stacks to reach his fourth.
Play will resume with blinds at 5,000 / 10,000 and a running ante of 1,000. Due to the long bubble phase, a lot of players were left short-stacked and will be looking for a quick double-up to get themselves back in contention. Follow PokerNews throughout the day as we play down to the winner of the PokerStars Championship €25,750 High Roller.
