It’s day five of the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final, and it is an insanely good line up for the final 16. Here is how they arrange themselves this morning, and there’s really not much more I can add to this; it’s arguably the strongest final two tables we have ever seen at an EPT main event.
Table 1
1 1 Andrew Lichtenberger USA 699,000
1 2 Daniel Negreanu Canada 1,257,000
1 3 Victor Ramdin USA 1,090,000

1 5 Freddy Deeb USA 1,207,000
1 6 Andrew Pantling Canada 2,248,000
1 7 Noah Schwartz USA 1,087,000
1 8 Clyde Tjauw Foe Netherlands 647,000
Table 2
2 1 Vasili Firsau Belarus 358,000
2 2 Grant Levy Australia 712,000
2 3 John Juanda Indonesia 1,395,000
2 4 Goran Mandic Croatia 995,000
2 5 Mateusz Moolhuizen Netherlands 596,000

2 8 Jason Mercier USA 1,008,000
I will say this, however: we could be here some time. In Berlin last week, we came into day five with only 16 players too and expected to arrange our final table in time for dinner. But we were still there hours and hours later, with the ninth placed player simply refusing to yield. It was deep into the early hours before that final eight was agreed.
The type of player we have here makes that kind of attrition slightly less likely. All of the 16 we have here will be going for the win. But who knows.
One thing is absolutely certain. It’s going to be a belter. Here’s Sarah Grant and Rick Dacey with more:
