Aldemir, Riess, and Sinclair Headline the Final 12 in €10,350 Main Event
With the penultimate day upon us at the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe, there are only 12 players left standing in Event #10: €10,350 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event. Those 12 players will soon be cut in half as only six players will move on to the final day tomorrow.
Among the two tables are many world-renown poker players who have had plenty of success, not only at the WSOP but also on the elusive high roller circuit. One name that will stand out to everyone is 2013 WSOP Main Event champion, Ryan Riess. The Michigan native who now resides in Las Vegas captured his lone gold bracelet and over $8.3 million to go with it. While the payout may not be as large here in Rozvadov, Riess would like to etch his name in history as only the second player ever to win the WSOP Main Event on both sides of the planet.
Along with Riess, there are a few more players remaining who have well over $1,000,000 in career earnings. Koray Aldemir is part of the German contingent that plays nearly every high roller event there is to play and has amassed nearly $10,000,000 in his short career. Jack Sinclair is coming off a WSOP Main Event final table in 2017 where he finished in eighth place for $1,200,000 and has continued to find success at the felt ever since. And there is Vladimir Troyanovksiy who has been around the longest of the big names left. Troyanovskiy has had a long and illustrious career racking up over $6.5 million in the process.
Life won't be easy for the big boys as they will have eight other players to keep their eye on including chipleader, Lazslo Bujtas. A late surge on Day 4 and the elimination of Andy Black in 13th place sent Bujtas to the lead as he looks to make his first significant score in the poker world. Milos Skrbic rounds out the top three stacks heading into the day and he has already shown in the first few days that he is not afraid to tangle with anyone.
