Kabrhel checks out the camera at High Roller final table.
The €10,000 High Roller side event has reached the final table. No matter what the fate of the prize pool that may or may not have been absconded with yesterday, six players will be getting paid today, so they're three eliminations away from the money.
Amazingly, Martin Kabrhel has the chip lead at the moment. Kabrhel hasn't made much of an impact on EPT main events, but he's consistently crushing the side events this season. He won the €2,000 event at back-to-back stops in Vilamoura and Prague. And last month in Deauville, he took down the €25,000 High Roller tournament. A win here would put him in first place for EPT player of the year, a remarkable feat considering his only Main Event cash was a 60th place in Deauville.
