€1,100 Eureka Main Event
Dia 4 Começado
The €1,100 Eureka Main Event at the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague has reached a final table of nine that will play out today at noon local time, and leading the way it Poland's Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz with a stack of 26,825,000 good for 107 big blinds.
Wyrzykiewicz's largest cash was in 2015 when he finished eight-place in the €5,300 EPT Main Event in Malta for €76,000. A spot in the top six on Monday would surpass that total, but everyone is eyeing the top piece of the €4,226,880 prize pool. The eventual champion will take home €511,710, along with the Eureka Tour trophy.
Hot on his tail to start the day is Czechia's very own Miroslav Forman, beginning the day with 25,820,000 in chips. Forman has already locked up his all-time best cash prize with this final table appearance, being guaranteed a payout of €45,400 over his pervious highest win of €21,300 in the 2016 EPT Barcelona Main Event.
