Final Table Time
We're just about 15 minutes away from kicking off the final table of the PokerStars.it EPT San Remo here in Season 8.
A total of 837 players began this event, and we've reduced that number all the way down to just eight. They're all guaranteed more than �60,000, but that's certainly not the prize they're playing for. First place is worth �800,000, but it's that priceless EPT trophy and the title of champion that these eight seek.
After a massive day yesterday, Aussie Daniel Neilson finds himself far in front of the field, and his count of 6.7 million gives him well over a quarter of the chips in play. Standing in his way are a few tough players, though, and one of them is a former EPT champion. Kevin MacPhee will be looking to become the tour's first-ever double winner here today, but he's got his work cut out for him as he starts play on the shortest stack of just over a million. Still, we're not betting against him.
Italy still has Rocco Palumbo to root for, and the final table also includes a Slovakian, a Russian, a Bulgarian, a Brit, and a Frenchman. It's a true international showdown here in San Remo today, and it's getting ready to roll under the bright lights of the TV stage.
