Lyubovetskiy Leads Final 23 Into Day 3 of €10,300 EPT High Roller
The PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague wraps up Wednesday with among other closing events and final tables, Day 3 of the €10,300 EPT High Roller, which sees 23 returning hopefuls chasing the €527,070 first prize.
2021 WSOP bracelet winner Andriy Lyubovetskiy leads the field with 1,272,000 chips. He'll be trying to surpass his largest-ever live score of €518,430 which he received for his bracelet win last fall.
Some of poker’s biggest names are not far behind him though, closest of which is Spanish superstar Adrian Mateos who enters the day with 1,265,000 in chips.
Among the other 22 runners in the chase for EPT glory are Conor Beresford (958,000) and Mike Watson (883,000) who made strong charges on Day 2 to vault themselves into the top five of the chip counts. Niall Farrell finds himself in the middle of the pack with 512,000 chips after dragging some key pots late on Tuesday.
