Eight Finalists in Contention for WSOPC Aix-en-Provence Title
The final table is set, but only one question remains: who will take down the 2026 €1,500 World Series of Poker Circuit Aix-en-Provence Main Event at the Pasino Grand Partouche?
From a field of 783 entries across four starting flights and Day 2, only eight players are still in contention, battling for a share of the €1,014,768 prize pool. By the end of the night, one of them will claim the €150,000 top prize along with a coveted WSOP Circuit ring.
While the title has never been closer for the finalists, there’s still plenty of play left, with an average stack of 60 big blinds. Leading the way is Matthieu Cartillier, who bagged the biggest stack after Day 2 with 7,230,000. He is closely followed by Michel Leibgorin (7,180,000), who has more than 30 career titles but still chases his first WSOP Circuit ring.
