Who's Going To Be the Champion?

After two days of high stakes action in Barcelona, the Super High Roller crowd of 99 is down to just 9 players. Already well into the money, the finalists will battle it out for the �1,224,000 first place prize at 12:30 pm (in about 75 minutes).

Yesterday's day was an exciting one, with most of the drama coming from the bubble. Viacheslav Buldygin was the unfortunate player to go out in 16th place, guaranteeing the remaining 15 layers a pay day of at least �80,800. For some, that didn't get them even for the tournament just yet, as more than one player had invested 2 bullets to get where they were.

Where most tournaments see lots of players fall after the bubble bursts, this Super High Roller continued for quite a while without any new casualties. Eventually, players did go broke and Igor Kurganov (15th, �80,800), Stephen Chidwick (14th, �80,800), Max Altergott (13th, �87,900), Mike McDonald (12th, �87,900), Fedor Holz (11thth, �99,800), and Ben Tollerene (10th, �99,800) eventually fell before play was halted after the ten levels scheduled were played out.

The remaining nine players will battle it out this afternoon for that first place prize of �1,224,000. Australian Michael Egan, who's live cashes all have come from tournaments in Australia, is on the verge of beating his best live result to date. Unless he finishes ninth, he'll beat his old record of $144,000 - the sum of money he received for winning the Victorian Poker Championship in Melbourne back in 2010. JC Alvarado, who finished runner up in the inaugural EPT Barcelona Super High Roller back in 2012, is back and placed in the middle of the pack this time. Here's the starting line up for todays final table:
