Mihai Croitoru has the chip lead, but can he claim the coveted WSOP Circuit ring?
The final eight players remaining in the WSOP Circuit €1,650 Main Event have returned to action at King's Casino in Rozvadov to play to a winner.
Romania's Mihai Croitoru has the chip lead with 6,925,000 chips, having won a late coinflip with pocket queens to take a slim lead over the other big stack, Ivan Banic. The Croatian has just over six million chips and will be a force to be reckoned with after eliminating Oriol Fernandez late on Day 3 to give himself a great shot at taking home the WSOP Circuit ring and €232,241 top prize.
Croitoru and Banic won't have everything their own way, however, with all eight remaining players desperate to take down the title and improve on the €25,102 they'll be guaranteed for being the next man to exit.
Here's how the players will line up when they return to the tail-end of the 30,000/60,000 blind level, with an ante of 10,000.
