The Hunt For the Final Table is On!
There are still 119 contending for a spot at the final table of the first ever World Poker Tour event in the Netherlands, but in the end there can be only nine. The names of the nine finalists are still well over 12 hours away from being known, but plenty of big ones are still in the mix.
Headliners today will be Dutch all-time money list leader Marcel Luske, former EPT Berlin finalist and recent WCOOP event winner Joep van den Bijgaart, Zeus Post, Alex Hendriks, Farid Chati, Giorgio La Iacona, Marcel Buissink, Stefan Swillers, Thomas Brader, Paul Berende, Oanh Bui and Mateusz Moolhuizen.
The payouts are yet to be announced, but the expectation is that 45 places will get paid out of the total 403 players that entered.
The average stack is 101,596 chips or 33 big blinds, which means that lots of players will be at risk during the first levels of play. The levels from today onwards will be 60 minutes. Play will resume at 3:50 p.m. local time in the 15th level of the structure, which will be 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante.
