Dia 2 Iniciado
The final $25,500 high stakes contest of the 2021 GG Spring Festival will play down to a winner today. As of 7.05 pm GMT, the last nine contenders out of a field of 172 entries will compete for the biggest slice of the $4,300,000 prize pool. They have $95,644 locked up for the efforts but all eyes are set on the top prize of $956,440 to end the series with a bang.
Finnish poker pro Joni Jouhkimainen emerged as the chip leader with a stack of 5,344,169 and he is the only player above 100 big blinds. Elio Fox, recent finalist of another $25,500 contest during the festival, sits in second place with 2,872,603. Joao Vieira follows in third with 2,325,872.
Finland's Sami Kelopuro, who already won two $25,500 buy-ins during the GGSF, fired nine entries and bagged up the fourth-biggest stack. He will need to finish at least sixth to almost break even in the tournament. Another recent champion for the joint-highest buy-in of the series is Niklas Astedt, who sits in sixth place on the overnight leaderboard.
As can be expected, the remaining contenders are all well-known names of the poker scene including Russian rising star Artur Martirosian, Isaac Haxton, Andras Nemeth, and Seth Davies.
