Oral remains nearly 2,000,000 chips in front of his nearest competitors 2023 EPT Paris Main Event Champion Razvan Belea and Sven Stok who managed to amass 2,920,000 and 2,700,000 respectively.

The remaining players have already locked up an impressive cash of €11,740, alongside any mystery bounties they may have already collected along the way. But with the two €200,000 bounties having been already claimed by Jan Bronkhorst and Samy Boujmala yesterday, the focus of the tournament has certainly shifted to the first-place prize of €374,064.
Each remaining bounty is still worth a minimum of €1,000, with the largest remaining prize of €5,000 also still in circulation.
Day 3 commences today at 12 p.m. local time. The structure will recommence on Level 28 with blinds at 30,000/60,000 with an 80,000 big blind ante.
