It’s time for the six remaining players to return for the Final Day of the €5,300 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Main Event. For one last time, the curtain will rise inside Casino Barcelona as the field of 2,045 entries has been reduced to just half a dozen hopefuls, each with their eyes on the €1,436,000 top prize and the prestigious EPT Main Event trophy.
Romania’s Sebastian Ionita starts the final day as chip leader after bagging 14,725,000 yesterday, and has 59 big blinds to work with. Ionita, who had never cashed in an EPT Main Event before this week, now finds himself in prime position to capture his first major title and take home a life-changing amount of money. Right behind him is France’s Thomas Eychenne, who is a regular on the tour, with a stack of 11,375,000.
