Who Will Make the EPT Sochi Main Event Final Table?
The PokerStars EPT Sochi Main Event is down to its final three tables with just 23 players remaining, all vying for the first prize of ₽27,475,000 (~$430,000).
Leading the way is Danil Bukharin with 2,340,000 in chips. According to The Hendon Mob, Bukharin has one prior cash in the EPT Barcelona national worth €2,550 ($2,900), so the Russian has already locked up the biggest cash of his career.
By contrast, bracelet-winner Dmitry Yurasov has over $2m in lifetime cashes and currently sits in second place. He cashed the EPT National earlier this week, and has previous experience at an EPT Main Event final table, finishing third at EPT Malta in October 2016.
With EPT final tables playing six-handed, it's safe to assume that the plan for today is to reach that mark. Stay tuned to PokerNews as we get you all the action from Casino Sochi.
