Jack Sinclair Looking to Close Out €1,100 Eureka Main Event Final Table
The €1,100 Eureka Main Event at the 2022 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 Britain's Jack Sinclair with a stack of 29,625,000 good for 74 big blinds.
Sinclair has been on an EPT tear this year that saw him finishing second in the EPT Barcelona €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event for €377,120 in August and second in the EPT London £5,300 Main Event just a month later for £414,650. The 2018 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event champ with $5.2 million in live earnings now looks for a first-place finish as he enters the unofficial nine-handed final table with the chip lead.

But Sinclair will have to get through a field of talented European opponents, including Finland's Elias Suhonen (14,775,000), Austria's Pieter Theelen and Italy's Leonardo Romeo, who was the face of perseverance on Day 3 as he suffered both one and two-outers late in the evening but managed to bounce back to second in chips with a stack of 22,000,000. We will see if Romeo can find his Juliet today.
Fifth-place EPT London Main Event finisher Danut Chisu was looking to join Sinclair at another final table but the Romanian filmmaker fell in 17th place late in the day ahead of the two-table redraw when his king-ten couldn't get ahead of the ace-three of Thielen.
Day 4 action will pick back up on Level 35 with blinds of 200,000/400,000/400,000 and levels lasting 60 minutes in duration. The event is scheduled to play down to a winner, who will take home the trophy and the top prize of €496,760. Each player returning today is guaranteed a minimum cash of €45,390, which is the prize for ninth place.
