The Chase For The Money is On!

Happy_Freaked

The Season 9 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final is down to 105 players and that means the race for the money is on! In total 80 players will get paid and take home at least €16,000. Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden starts the day with a huge 201-big-blind stack and he seems to be a lock for a very deep run!

Many big pros remain here on Day 3 among which Calvin Anderson, Noah Schwartz and Oleksii Kovalchuk who all have had amazing results over the last couple of years. Last year's champion Mohsin Charania was knocked out last night and that means we will crown a new Grand Final champion on Sunday, the only question is, who will it be?

Who Killed Kenny?

MarcC

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

The answer to that is Paul Volpe, and he did it on the very first hand.

Kenny Hallaert came back with ten big blinds and found a good hand to go with straight away. Unfortunately for him, his pocket jacks couldn't beat Volpe's king-ten.
