We are now approaching the end, where one of the last 16 players will be crowned champion, hoist a valuable trophy over his head and collect a €1,000,000 prize. This awaits the winner of the €5,300 buy-in EPT Monte-Carlo Main Event.

EPT: Benny Glaser and Nacho Barbero have another title, 49 players continue in the Main Event

We won't burden you with any more information about the number of entries or the prize pool, as you are already well aware from our previous articles. So let's jump straight into the latest news.

The course of the fourth game day

The top 49 players made it through to Day 4 and the list included names like Dan Smith, Adrian Mateos, David Docherty, Mustapha Kanit and successful YouTuber Alexander "Wolfgang Poker" Seibt.

However, Dan Smith (29th place - €23,100), Mustapha Kanit (26th place - €26,500) and Alexander "Wolfgang Poker" Seibt did not continue to play from this group of players. The latter busted out just before the end of the day in 18th place, which was valued at €35,100.

Who made it to Day 5?

Day 5 will feature the top 16 players and all of them already have at least €40,600 in their pockets. German player Philipp Wenzelburger will start as the massive chipleader with a stack of up to 6,545,000. Philipp has already advanced as chipleader once during the Main Event and that was from flightof 1B.

Day 5 will also feature Adrian Mateos, whose stack of 2,405,000 is the sixth largest. David Docherty will also be in action, but unfortunately he will only start with a stack of 40,000, which is the smallest stack of them all and represents only one blind. He can thank Mateos for this shortstack, who took almost everything from him in one of the last hands.

Play will get underway again at 12:00 on blinds of 20k/40k/40k and players will run through the traditional 90-minute levels. At the end of the day we will know the names of the finalists. You can also follow their journey to meet them via livestream, which will start at 12:30pm.
