Ozdemir Leads Magnificent Seven at PokerStars Festival Bucharest Final Table
The final day of the PokerStars Festival Bucharest is here, and we are set to crown a winner here in the "Paris of the East."
A total of 736 players entered the Main Event, and now only seven remaining. They are lead by Turkey's Anil Ozdemir who is out in front with over nine million in chips in what he says is one of his first live tournament final tables.
Ozdemir could have bagged up a bigger chiplead were it not for Sam Grafton, who clawed some of Ozdemir's advantage back on his way to bagging up close to seven million.
The remaining five players are bunched together around two groups: those with around 30 big blinds, and those with around 15 big blinds. It remains to be seen what that will do to the pace of today's final table when they get underway at 1 p.m. local time.

The turn was the 
and Nietrzebka check-called again, this time for 430,000. Nietrzebka checked a third time on the river.
Ozdemir thought before moving all in. Nietrzebka thought for a minute or so before announcing call.
Ozdemir went to muck his hand and Nietrzebka tabled 
while Ozdemir was forced to show 
for a bluff that had failed to get through.

Patrick Bueno Eliminated in 5th Place (€34,400)
Level 27
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
It was all-in pre between Patrick Bueno on the button holding 
against Daniel Nietrzebka in the small blind holding .
Nietrzebka was still stacking his chips from his double up and he watched as the board ran out 
with the Ace on the river eliminating Bueno.
Bueno had already cashed for €13,000 after finishing third in the MegaStack here in Bucharest at the end of July, and he added another €34,400 to that figure with another deep run.
