Out of a big field of 111 entries, only seven players remain to battle for the lion's share of the €2,636,250 prize pool and the coveted gold bracelet that comes with it.
High Roller regular Orpen Kisacikoglu snatched the lead in the final levels of the night and bagged up 22,925,000, but hot on his heels are three other players just a few antes behind in Netanel Amedi (22,300,000), Besim Hot (21,600,000) and Siamak Tooran (20,925,000).
Furthermore, Jonathan Depa (12,925,000), Thai Ha (6,275,000) and Dusk Till Dawn's Rob Yong (3,700,000) all made the cut for the final day and will need to spin up their shorter stacks. Ha finished second in Event #8 $10,000 Short Deck No Limit Hold'em earlier this year in Las Vegas.
