The tournament clock of the EPT Main Event is ticking relentlessly, and the field of more than 2,000 entries continues to shrink day by day. Yesterday's day 4 was no exception, which welcomed 79 players to the game at the beginning, but at the end, after more than 7 hours of play, only 32 of the best appeared. Of course, there was also a Live Stream yesterday, through which you could follow the action in detail.
Yesterday put a stop sign to several famous names, where for example Gianluca Speranza (€20,550), Dominik Panka (€23,650) or Patrik Antonius (€27,250) had to walk away for their financial rewards.
French player Simon Wiciak (4,515,000) is currently at the lead of the mentioned 32 players, who has no record of the EPT series yet. Only former EPT champion Robin Ylitalo (2,375,000) and PS ambassador Andre Akkari (435,000) also continue in play, but he will start the day from last place with only 11bb.
The tournament will continue again today at 12:00, but you can look forward to another Live Stream from 12:30. The game will continue at 20k/40k blinds, the tournament average is 50 big blinds, and each of the participants of this day is guaranteed €31,250 cashout.
Fans of the most expensive tournaments got their due yesterday, as they were already waiting for the fourth €25k High Roller in a row. This edition produced 29 entries and among them the big names of world poker at the final table. PS ambassador Sam Grafton, who defeated Timothy Adams in heads-up, eventually went for the spade trophy and a prize of €240,050.
