David Coleman Trails Espen Jorstad as Final Six Return for Day 3 of EPT Super High Roller

The €100,000 EPT Super High Roller being held inside the beautiful Casino Barcelona reaches its climax today, as six players return to battle for one of the most prestigious titles of the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona series.

From a field of 47 entries, the prize pool swelled to €4,559,940, with all remaining players now guaranteed €319,200 while the winner will walk away with €1,573,140 and the trophy.

Norway’s Espen Jorstad leads the way after bagging 4,785,000 at the close of Day 2 and has more than double his closest rival. The United States' David Coleman occupies the second spot with 2,365,000 to work with after bursting the money bubble to halt play yesterday. Germany’s Leon Sturm rounds out the top three with 1,430,000.

Thailand’s Punnat Punsri, who entered Day 2 as the chip leader, returns with 760,000 as the short stack and the only player under seven figures, leaving him with plenty of work to do if he is to mount a serious challenge for the title.

Cards go back in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time in the Pau Casals Room, with 18 hands left in Level 17 at 20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 big blind ante. After which, every level will be 24 hands in length and the plan is to play all the way down until a champion is crowned.
