Eibinger Brings Half the Chips in Play When €50K SHR Resumes
The 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague's €50,000 Super High Roller has just four players remaining from a field of 40 entries. The quartet is set to resume play at 12:30 local time (two hours from now.)
Austrian pro Matthias Eibinger would be the favorite with the bookies since he's the proud owner of 55 percent of the chips in play. With blinds set to resume at 25,000 and 50,000, his stack of 5,455,000 equalizes 109 big blinds.
The remaining 45 percent of the chips is in the hands of three experts of the game. Pavel Plesuv (1,600,000), Andras Nemeth (1,445,000), and Liang Xu (1,400,000) all have a wealth of experience and a similar sized stack.
