Home / Uncategorized / EPT Dortmund: Final table in view, the last 32 begin third day

As incredible as it is to hear news of Gavin Griffin’s triumph there remains today’s issue at large – day 3 of the PokerStars EPT Dortmund at Casino Hohensyburg.

Kara Scott and the EPT’s Lee Jones have a recap on yesterday’s action…

Down to 32 players after a quick-step progression through the early cash payouts last night, we will play to eight today before the finalist return tomorrow with eyes firmly on the first prize of 933,600. Tournament director Thomas Kremser is about to start things going and you can follow the action live as it happens both here on the blog and on EPT Live

One name remaining stands out ahead of the rest – that of PokerStars sponsored player Marcel Luske. The Flying Dutchman whistled his way through yesterday, finishing to the tune of 123,000 chips, good for 13th place in the standings. Today he’s drawn against another big name, EPT Deauville winner and Monte Carlo Grand final runner-up in season one Brandon Schaeffer. On this day of records it’s worth remembering that Brandon almost became the first player to win two EPTs (back to back) in the very first season. Brandon is in 7th place at the start of the day with 202,300. They both form part of the first feature table of the day. But who are the names in the other 30 places?
