At midday today the remaining 104 players in the Grand Final of the European Poker Tour will reconvene at the felt to play down to 24. While everyone returning does so guaranteed of a cash prize (minimum �15,000 for the first player to bust today), the ultimate goal is one of the most prestigious titles around and �1,500,000.
Leading the field is Norwegian Ole Kristian [Removed:332] with 726,000, closely followed by Kristoffer Thorsson (701,500). In all 686 players started here at the Gran Casino Madrid - a tough group to fight through by anyone's standard - and these 104 will no doubt provide as entertaining a demonstration of tournament poker as any we've seen on the tour.
Still in the running are some of yesterday's mid-day leaders Melanie Weisner, Surinder Sunar, Ben Wilinofsky and Team Pro Victor Ramdin, as well as SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo on a short stack.
The cards will be in the air at midday local time - join us for live coverage from the eight-handed tables.
