Who Will Take Home the WSOP Circuit Aix-en-Provence Gold Ring?

Who will claim the WSOP Circuit Aix-en-Provence Main Event title, the prestigious gold ring, and the €160,000 first-place prize? That question will finally be answered today at Pasino Grand.

Out of a massive field of 1,433 entries, only eight players remain after four days of poker action. They return today for an extra day dedicated solely to the final table. Leading the way is Julien Bolimowski, who has held the chip lead since Day 2 and enters the finale with 18,900,000 chips. Hot on his heels are Axel Hallay (17,075,000), David Gradic (14,675,000), and Thierry Amirault (12,275,000), while the remaining four contenders will need to fight back from short stacks to stay in the race for the ring.

Among the short stacks are Winamax Team Pro Julien Sitbon (2,750,000), Belgium’s Aliosha Staes (1,925,000), Farid Diaf (1,575,000), and the last woman standing, Cécile Ticherfatine (1,525,000). All four have already secured a minimum payout of €20,400, but with stacks so close, the race up the pay jumps promises to be fierce.

The final table is set to resume at 1 p.m. local time, with 30 minutes remaining in Level 32 (blinds at 125,000/250,000 and a 250,000 big blind ante). The action will be broadcast on stream with a 30-minute delay.
