UPDATE: Since time of writing, Negreanu has been powering through the event, and is now 2nd in chips.
The Final Table of the World Series of Poker Europe is set. There are some recognizable faces and dominant players.
The £10,000 buy-in event has been gaining steam and prestige over the last few years, and notable pros making the final table does wonders for the event’s credibility.
The Players:
Jason Mercier 3,198,000 Chips
James Akenhead 1,398,000 Chips
Praz Bansi 1,160,000 Chips
Barry Shulman 1,090,000 Chips
Markus Ristola 784,000 Chips
Antoine Saout 701,000 Chips
Matt Hawrilenko 674,000 Chips
Chris Bjorin 518,000 Chips
Daniel Negreanu 438,000 Chips
Saout is on an absolute tear this year. He is essentially in 2 final tables at once – the biggest final tables in poker.
The father/son poker prowess is strong in the Shulman family. With Barry (father) in the WSOPE final and Jeff (son) in the WSOP November Nine.
You really can’t count out a guy like Negreanu, when he’s in an event like this.
Updates to come soon.
