A mid-week trip to King's Resort in Rozvadov might seem unassuming for most, but for one of the six finalists returning for Day 5 of the €10,350 Main Event NLH European Championship, it will be a day that they never forget.
Today, a new world champion will be crowned at the 2024 World Series of Poker Europe with the eventual winner's name being etched into the poker history books, and the person in pole position to achieve such a feat is Italy's Simone Andrian, who holds a commanding chip lead over the field with 33,500,000 chips.
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Urmo Velvelt | Estonia | 15,600,000 | 78 |
| 2 | Ran Ilani | Israel | 6,425,000 | 32 |
| 3 | Simone Andrian | Italy | 33,500,000 | 168 |
| 4 | Enrico Camosci | Italy | 3,675,000 | 18 |
| 5 | David Hochheim | Germany | 4,525,000 | 23 |
| 6 | Mariusz Golinski | Poland | 13,525,000 | 68 |
Andrian’s closest rival with 15,600,000—less than half of the chip leader’s stack—is Urmo Velvelt of Estonia. This is Velvelt’s first live WSOP final table and already the biggest score of his career. While his seat isn’t ideal, sitting a few spots to Andrian’s left, Velvelt has spent the past four days of the Main Event proving why he belongs at the final table. Now, he’ll be hoping to maneuver his way into position and make a run at the coveted bracelet.
Rounding out the podium positions is Mariusz Golinski of Poland, the only other player to surpass the seven-figure chip mark with 13,525,000. This is also Golinski’s first time under the bright lights of a WSOP final table, and only his second-ever live WSOP cash—the first coming just a week ago here in Rozvadov. Golinski has already smashed his previous biggest career cash by ten fold in this tournament, but he’s got some work ahead if he wants to leave as a world champion.
Ran Ilani (6,425,000) and David Hochheim (4,525,000) start the day with middling stacks, while Enrico Camosci enters as the short stack with 3,675,000. Camosci is the only player to have made a final table at this year’s WSOP Europe, having finished fourth in the $50,000 Diamond High Roller just a week ago. Andrian considers the Italian online poker wizard one of the best Italian players around, so he’s likely relieved that Camosci starts with only 18 big blinds, despite being seated to his direct left. Camosci knows he needs to make something happen if he wants to climb into a podium finish.
All six remaining players are guaranteed at least €217,000, but only the champion will walk away with the massive seven-figure prize of €1,300,000 and the ultimate bragging rights as the 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event champion.

| 3 | €590,000 |
| 4 | €415,000 |
| 5 | €297,000 |
| 6 | €217,000 |
Action will resume at 2:00 p.m. local time. Blinds will start at Level 29 — 100,000/200,000 with a 200,000 big blind ante — and the average stack sits at a 12,800,000, which is sixty-four big blinds. The action will be streamed via the King's Resort YouTube channel and updates will by synchronized with the stream to ensure no spoilers are leaked.
