€5,300 EPT Main Event
The EPT Prague 2024 Main Event is now down to the final day. The record-breaking 1,458-entry tournament saw its final six yesterday.
The sixteen players who jumped into Day 5 had a tough task ahead of them. Only the top 6 could make the final table and the closest to that was Paul Runcan, who started as chipleader. He consolidated his position throughout the evening and after Vidar Oie of Norway was eliminated, we got to know the unofficial final table.
Danut Chisu from Romania had to leave the final table first, followed by Siegfried Kapeller from Austria. The last seat open of the night was Tjenno Eskes from the Netherlands, who took home €179,250 and after whose elimination we got to know the line-up of tonight's final table. Paul Runcan further strengthened his position during Day 5 and will go into the final day as chipleader.
