![[user339872]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
After two days of competition, only six players will return to the felt in the hunt for a title in the €10,300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller. The 2019 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT is hitting its full stride on the first weekend of the festival and today another winner will be crowned.
A dominating Day 2 performance from Charlie Carrel sees him carry an overwhelming chip lead into the final day with 1,499,000 chips. Carrel entered the final table with the chip lead and continued to assert his dominance over his opponents, eliminating two of them in quick succession. Carrel has had plenty of success at the Monte Carlo Bay Resort and Casino and is looking to continue his strong play for at least one more day.
It won't be an easy road to the first-place prize of €198,610 as the other five players at the table have plenty of accomplishments among them. Seth Davis currently has a firm grasp on the second position with 791,000 and is no stranger to the high roller scene. Erik Seidel (337,000) is also still in the mix after holding the chip lead for nearly a day and a half already.
Seat Draw
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Georgios Kitsios | Greece | 433,000 | 36 |
| 2 | Sylvain Loosli | France | 182,000 | 15 |

The cards will be back in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time with the blinds resuming at 6,000/12,000 and a 12,000 big blind ante. The levels will continue to be 60 minutes in length and there will be a 20-minute break after every two levels. With a large portion of the chips being spread among the top two players, it could lead to some quick eliminations, barring some early double ups.
The €100,000 Super High Roller also kicks off today in the same room and some of the remaining players are expected to jump into that prestige event as soon as this one ends. Will that have an impact on the pace of play today? Follow along with the PokerNews live reporting team to find out this one will play out along with many other events.
