Final Table Set for WSOP Circuit Malta Main Event
Who will win the €1,500 World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at Casino Malta and take home the €200,000 first-place prize from a €1,115,451 prize pool? That question will be answered this Sunday, as only nine players remain from a field of 879 entries to play the final table.
Of those nine players, Radoslaw Kopec has already reached the final table of a WSOP Circuit Main Event, finishing runner-up in Middelkerke last year. He'll start the final day as the chip leader with 8,200,000, ahead of Matteo Ricco (6,900,000) and Luca Topazio (6,700,000), who nearly bagged the exact same stack.

Aleksandar Georgiev (4,500,000) follows, alongside Alberto Cigliano (4,300,000), who doubled twice in a row, and Lucas van den Belt (4,300,000).
Vitali Bibik (3,700,000) and Day 1b chip leader Christoffer Jensen (3,200,000) are also in contention for the ring, as is Nicola Bordignon (2,200,000), who bagged the shortest stack of all but is still in the hunt.
Play resumes at 1 p.m. local time this Sunday, October 4, with blinds of 50,000/100,000 and a 100,000 big blind ante. Levels will still be 60 minutes long until a winner is crowned. But before that happens, the nine finalists have already secured €14,191.
