Two Former Champs in Strong Contention on the Penultimate Day

Frederik Jensen's Looking for Title No. 2
Frederik Jensen's Looking for Title No. 2

There are still 36 players in the hunt for the the title and over €1.4 million in the biggest EPT ever held, and among them two former champions. Oleksii Khoroshenin (EPT 10 Vienna) and Frederik Jensen (EPT 8 Madrid) both take serious stacks into Day 5, as they are in the top six as of right now. Two-time EPT finalist Peter Eichhardt leads the way with a staggering 4.3 million-chip stack, as he looks to make his first final table since Baden Season 3.

While the finish line is in sight, it's still not within reach. With 36 players still alive the fifth day of play will prove to be a very long one. It is a custom on the EPT to play down to a final table of eight, but even that seems far away as of right now.

Among the contenders we've also spotted Team PokerStars Pros Matthias De Meulder and Andre Akkari, and the number 10 on the global all-time money list, John Juanda. Juanda is a poker legend in his own right and with $16 million in live tournament earnings, $852,000 of which he won for finishing second in EPT 7 London, and he'll look to battle back from the bottom of the counts.

Stay tuned for all your EPT Barcelona coverage here on PokerNews.com, as we will bring you all the updates throughout the final two days of this event.
