Alexandru Papazian, third on the Romanian all-time money list, has 232,500 while another player can make history here in Bucharest. While Mateusz Moolhuizen was eliminated on Day 1b, Dan Murariu got through the first starting day with a healthy stack of 160,000 and may become the first three-time champion of the popular tournament series.
Other notables to look out for include James Mitchell (174,000), Jeroen van Belzen (168,000), Martin Wendt (165,500), Lee Egan (125,000), Ozgur Arda (110,000), Luciana Manolea (100,000), Mate Mecs (84,500), Slaven Popov (75,500), Quentin Lecomte (69,500, Olof Haglund (63,500) and Dan Glimne (59,000).
