Out of 211 players on Day 2 of Event #3: €1,350 Mini Main Event, nine players remain who will return for the final table on Friday, November 26 at 6 p.m. CET. The three flights of this event attracted 1,397 entries to create a total prize pool of €1,592,580 which easily surpassed the original €600,000 guarantee.

All nine players have secured at least €21,261 but will all be looking to grab that WSOP bracelet, the first-place prize of €250,175 plus a ticket worth €10,350 for the Main Event

Coming back for the final table with the chip lead is Ciro Perna who accumulated a big stack during the later stages of the day and kept the pressure on his opponents to end with 44,900,000 in chips. He is joined on the final table by familiar faces like Marius Gicovanu, Emil Bise, Jack Sinclair, and Vivian Saliba.

Level 34 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Martini Denis
Martini Denis

Martini Denis shoved from the cutoff for almost 9,000,000 and Marius Gicovanu made the call from the big blind with the bigger stack.

Martini Denis: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Marius Gicovanu: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} for Gicovanu to stay ahead but for Denis to pick up the gutshot to a straight.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} to keep Gicovanu in the same spot and so did the {10-Diamonds} on the river as Denis was eliminated in eleventh place.

The ten remaining players will now be redrawn onto the unofficial final table. That seat draw is to follow.
