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.

Ciro Perna raised to 850,000 from the hijack and Omid Novin made the call in the cutoff. Nicolas Bokowski three-bet jammed for 3,500,000 for the blinds to fold. Perna asked for a count and when Bokowski confirmed the amount, Perna four-bet shoved for more. Novin jumped into the tank and then opted to fold in the end.

"What did you have?" the table asked Novin.

"Ace-queen," he replied.

Nicolas Bokowski: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Ciro Perna: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for Novin to look gutted as he would have hit a pair.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and the river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} for Bokowski to bow out in fourteenth place.

Omid Novin: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
