The final table of the 2016 PokerStars EPT Season 12 Dublin €25,750 High Roller is set to start at 12:30 pm local time (in about 90 minutes). The final table will be live streamed on an hour delay with hole cards up. PokerNews' coverage will be free of spoilers and follow along with the live stream, starting at 13:30 local time (in about 2.5 hours).
Eight players will take the stage, with the chip lead in the hands of Italian wunderkind Mustapha Kanit. A big clash with queens against the eights of Anton Bertilsson on Day 2 resulted in a big stack for Kanit, while Bertilsson was left extremely short. The Swedish live qualifier battled himself back though, bagging the second biggest chip stack at the end of the day.
Worth noting is that this is Chance Kornuth's third $25,000 high roller final table of the year. He made the final table on three different continents; he finished 7th at the high roller in the PCA ($192,780), he won the A$25,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions (A$790,560/$547,874), and now he's here on European soil to go two for three.
There's 55 minutes left on the level (level 19: 30,000/60,000 with a 10,000 ante). Here's the final table in seat order:
