€1,100 High Roller
Day 3 Started
Six players left in the final table of 2019 PokerNews Cup High Roller and it could be anybody's game. The five stacks are between 1.3 and 2.1 million which means that it is really hard to make a prediction about who is going to win it. The only player who is in a very difficult spot is Dimitrios Dimitros who advanced to Day 3 with just 6 big blinds. But we've heard and witnessed many "a chip and a chair" stories in the past.
All players have their eyes in the first place prize of €28,100, and each of them is guaranteed €4,410. Marios Tzakos will start as the chip leader with 85 big blinds, a massive stack he acquired after a huge pot he played with Dimitros near the end of Day 2.
