Get Ready for the Final
At 3 pm local time, the nine finalists of the Master Classics of Poker Main Event return to Holland Casino to battle it out for the €240,183 ($271,017) first-place prize. They have all locked up €23,983 ($27,064) at this time.
Leading the final nine is Dutchman Teun Mulder. German regular [Removed:172] is not far behind. With a lot of big blinds still in play, and even Velasevic still in possession of ten big blinds, we might be in for a long day today.
There are 45 minutes remaining in Level 21 (8,000/16,000/16,000). Play is going to be preluded by a welcome ceremony that includes every player making their entrance to their hand-picked song. You can follow along with the final table with the MCOP Live Updates, right here on PokerNews.
