Day 3 Started
The 2021 World Series of Poker Europe is gearing up for the business end of the festival in Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. Only a few chances remain for poker enthusiasts from near and far to earn one of the coveted gold bracelets and one of them will be up for grabs on the final table of Event #13: €10,000 NLH 6-Max.
Out of a field of 73 entries, three Germans and three French will battle for the title and biggest slice of the €672,695 prize pool. Leading the way is Sonny Franco (2,460,000) followed by Sirzat Hissou (1,825,000) and Romain Le Dantec (1,475,000).
They are the only contenders with a seven-figure stack for the live-streamed showdown while a trio of short stacks includes Jakob Miegel (620,000), Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (580,000), and Christopher Puetz (345,000).
