The Penultimate Day Awaits
Day 5 of 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® Main Event gets underway at 12 am, another day full of poker awaits.
Sixteen players remain in the Main Event, all guaranteed €25,700 at this point, on the verge of making a lot more as €500,800 awaits the winner. That won't happen today, though, as the plan is to play down to 6 players.
When play resumes, 41 minutes remain in level 23 (12,000/24,000 with 4,000 ante). PokerNews will be on the floor from the start until the end. Here's the line up at start of play:
