They’ve already made it this far in a record-shattering field of 2,294 players and survived the money bubble. Now the 210 remaining on Day 3 of the €5,300 2022 PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour Main Event have their eye on the final table and, ultimately, the €1,714,000 top prize.
Leading the way is Norway’s Kayhan Mokri, who has just $21,000 in live tournament earnings but 1,303,000 chips, nearly 300,000 more than his closest challenger.
That happens to be someone who is no stranger to lifting an EPT trophy. Just three months ago, Marcelo Simoes beat a field of 1,073 in Monte Carlo to win €939,840. He currently sits in second place with 1,068,000 as he tries to become only the third player with multiple EPT titles, and the first ever to go back-to-back.
Another player with good memories of Casino Barcelona is Simon Brandstrom. The Swedish pro has had three years to call himself the reigning EPT Barcelona champion and has put up a valiant defense of his title, taking 473,000 into Day 3. Another past winner here, 2016 champion Sebastian Malec, is sitting on 156,000.
