10 Players Remain in Contention for Final Day of Event #10: €111,111 High Roller for One Drop
Only 10 players out of a 132-entry strong field remain for the final day of the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe Event #10: €111,111 High Roller for One Drop. The money bubble burst late in the previous day with the elimination of Vladimir Troyanovskiy, before the casualties came at a quick pace and it is High Roller tournament regular and 2017 $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl champion Christoph Vogelsang that has established a big lead over the other nine contenders.
Vogelsang bagged up 63,325,000, which is more than second-placed Andreas Eiler (30,450,000) and third-placed Ahadpur Khangah (29,575,000) have combined. Close behind follow 2017 WSOPE bracelet winner Martin Kabrhel (29,100,000), 888poker ambassador and three-time WSOP bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche (26,875,000). Furthermore, Thomas Muehloecker (23,825,000), Steffen Sontheimer (22,100,000), Mikita Badziakouski (20,525,000), Charlie Carrel (14,250,000) and Kenny Hallaert (3,975,000) are also still in contention.
