The March to the Money Begins on Day 3 of the EPT10 Grand Final!
Welcome to Day 3 of the 2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event. Today 123 players will return to action for five 90-minute levels of play. During that time the money will be reached. The top 95 players will take home a portion of the €6.5 million prize pool that was created by the 650-player field.
The man best positioned to make a run at the €1.24 million first-place prize is none other than Vladimir Troyanovskiy, who bagged up 450,500 on Day 2. However, he faces some stiff competition in Steven Silverman (369,900), Talal Shakerchi (365,800), Nick Maimone (358,800), Day 1b chip leader Hendrik Latz (278,400), Philipp Gruissem (268,000), Dani Stern (256,100), Sam Trickett (237,000), Ole Schemion (233,600), and Scott Clements (229,700).
