EPT Prague Day 5: Ramzi Jelassi in Front at the Final Table [+Live Stream]
The PokerStars EPT Prague has gone from 864 players down to an 8-handed final table. Check out who's at the final table and watch the live stream right here at 12:00 CET on Saturday.
Who's at the final table?
 |
| Ramzi Jelassi |
Ramzi Jelassi (5,675,000 chips) - The current chip leader in this event is Swedish Ramzi Jelassi. Between his chip lead and his extensive tournament experience (over $1.2 million in career earnings), it would be easy to argue that he's the favorite at this point. This is Jelassi's first EPT final table but not his first major one - he finished in 3rd place of a WSOP event in 2011.
Aleh Plauski (4,705,000 chips) - Belarusian Aleh Plauski enters the table second in chips and is also not short on experience. The bulk of his career earnings come from winning €300,000 for finishing in 6th place at the 2010 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, and he'll certainly be hoping his 2nd EPT final table will be his first major victory.
David Boyaciyan (4,635,000 chips) - 3rd in chips is Dutch David Boyaciyan. He has earned over $1.3 million in earnings in his career, with over half of that coming from last year's EPT Prague where he finished in 2nd. Reaching back-to-back EPT Prague final tables is already an impressive feat regardless of his finish, and he'll obviously hope to improve upon his previous result.
The rest - The other players at this final table each have less interesting poker biographies than the 3 biggest stacks. There are no records of previous tournament results for Sotirios Koutoupas or Sergey Kuzminskiy and just 2 small cashes for short stack Diego Gomez.
Ben Warrington and Mark Herm, entering the final table in 5th and 7th places respectively, each have some previous results but this is already guaranteed to be the largest cash in each of their careers.
The final table on Saturday at 12:00 CET, and it will be streamed live via PokerStars.tv right here:
