It's Final Table Time

Good morning one more time from Spain, and welcome back to the PokerStars.com EPT Madrid Main Event. Today is the closing day of the event, and from 477 starting players, we're left with just eight.
Spain's Ricardo Ibañez is your big stack coming into this final table, working his magic yesterday to bag up an impressive 3.216 million chips. That's close to twice the average and has him sitting pretty with nearly 25% of the chips in play.
Bios of the players will follow this post, so we'll leave most of the introductions there. It is, however, worth a special mention to the two remaining Frenchmen, Bruno Lopes and Nicolas Levi. Levi is a regular on the tour who's sitting at his third EPT final table. Just last December, he finished 3rd place in Prague, and he's earned more than $1.5 million in his poker career. Lopes has likely earned much more than that in his professional career where he's better known by his stage name, Kool Shen. His story is definitely worth a read, but suffice it to say he's more than your average celebrity-turned-poker-player, and he's got a real chance to win this thing with his fifth-place stack to start.
The cards are scheduled to go in the air in just about a half hour, and we'll give you some more info on the remaining players in between now and then. So sit back, relajate, and enjoy the final table of EPT Madrid.
