Welcome back for the third and final day of the €25,000 High Roller at the 2013 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final. This stop in Monaco marks the culmination of Season 9 of the EPT, and it's been an exciting festival thus far. Continuing with the excitement, Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst leads into Day 3 of this event with a stout group of competitors behind her.
In all, 12 players remain, including the defending champion Igor Kurganov. Last year, Kurganov defeated a field of 133 entries to win €1.08 million. With 678,000 in chips coming back for play today, Kurganov sits just above average and in seventh place on the leader board.
Also remaining are Toby Lewis, Alex Bilokur, Toby Lewis, Davidi Kitai and Sorel Mizzi, to name a few. Mizzi will be the short stack returning to play, but one double up will put him right back into the middle of the pack.
Earlier this year, Selbst became the winningest female poker player of all time by taking the title in the $25,000 High Roller at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for over $1.4 million. She's already set to increase her live tournament earnings with the field being in the money, but she could jump as high as 26th on the All-Time Money List if she were to win this event. Right now, Selbst sits in 42nd place on that list, but she's just about assured herself that she'll be moving up the ladder.
Day 3 will begin with two tables of six players jousting on the felt. The field will combine to one table when nine remain and play down to a winner from there. The final day's festivities are set to begin at 12 p.m. CET, so stay right here to PokerNews for all the action.
