Rene Wolech Leads the Way Heading Into the Final Day of the partypoker LIVE Grand Prix Austria Main Event
The partypoker LIVE Grand Prix Austria €115 Main Event in Vienna has turned out to be another hugely successful stop on the tour, not only meeting but smashing the €500,000 guarantee.
Day 2 began with 278 hopefuls returning from the 2,794 total entrants who participated in all of the live opening days in the Montesino Casino. By the end of the day, however, only 24 players remained. They will be joined tomorrow by the players who made it through all 14 levels in Day 2b that took place at CCC Simmering.
The top two chip stacks heading into the final day are within a single chip of one another. Rene Wolech leads the way with 10,875,000 chips, followed very closely by Harald Heigl who takes through 10,750,000 chips. Both players are representing the home nation of Austria.
Everyone who made Day 2 had already been paid out the €250 min-cash, with all players who made Day 3 picking up an additional €1,100. Tomorrow will see the remaining few players drawn onto new tables, with someone guaranteed to walk away with the trophy!
The Main Event will resume tomorrow at 1 pm local time, with the PokerNews Live Reporting Team on hand to bring you all of the action, right down until we crown a winner!
