The prestigious €5,300 EPT Main Event in Barcelona kicks off its fourth day today at noon local time. From an original gigantic field of 1,823 entries, only 67 players remain. Each of them is guaranteed at least €19,900, but the ultimate champion will take home a staggering €1,370,050 from a total prizepool of €8,841,550.
Leading the pack is Brazil's Fabricio Nociolini with a massive stack of 2,510,000 chips. The most compelling story of the day is the quest for a historic entry into the poker annals. Among those still in the running are five former EPT Main Event champions, each aiming for their second title. These are Sebastian Malec, Nicolas Chouity, John Juanda, Mark Teltscher, and Simon Wiciak.
Other notable names still vying for this prestigious title include Espen Sandvik, Romain Lewis, and Brock Wilson.
