Table 2 featuring chip leader Aleksandr Shevliakov and Boris Angelov starts on the feature table.
Having survived the field of 1,195 entrants, only 18 players remain in contention for the title on Day 5 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte-Carlo Main Event.
Among them is Boris Angelov, the 2024 runner-up who narrowly lost out to Derk van Luijk following a six-hour heads-up duel last year. Angelov returns to the tables here at the Sporting Monte-Carlo venue with 3,450,000 and a dream to make history on the 20th anniversary of the event.
Angelov starts the day in fourth place with only a few big blinds seperating himself, third place Khossein Kokhestani and second place Diego De Martino. Aleksandr Shevliakov is the current chip leader, out in front with 4,000,000 after a fantastic run on Day 4.
