The Final Table is Set; Adeniya Leads
The day is all said and done with the elimination of Adria Balaguer in ninth place here at the 2011 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour London Poker Festival Main Event. Just eight players remain from the original starting field of 691 and all are guaranteed at least £64,000 for reaching the final table.
Thanks to the last hand of the day where he busted Balaguer, Martins Adeniya has assumed the pole position heading into tomorrow's finale. He finished the day with 4.736 million in chips. Coming in behind him is Mattias Bergstrom with 3.62 million in chips.
To begin the day, 24 players returned to action. Sebastian Blom was the first player eliminated on the day and he was followed out the door by Basile Yaiche in 19th, Joao Barbosa in 17th, Benjamin Jenkins in 13th and James Mitchell in 11th.
Team PokerStars Pro Juan Manuel Pastor will enter the final table sixth in chips with 1.915 million. This is his best EPT finish of his career and he'll be looking to take this one down.
