| Fabrice Soulier |
570 players entered the PokerStars EPT Campione earlier this week, and now just 8 remain. They should all be proud of their achievement and happy with the €54,000 they're guaranteed, but no one will be completely satisfied without taking down the €640,000 first-place prize.
Who's at the final table?
Fabrice Soulier (3,480,000) - French poker pro Fabrice Soulier enters the final table with the most chips and the most live tournament experience. In his career he has amassed over $3.6 million in tournament earnings including a WSOP win, but this is his first EPT final table.
Olivier Busquet (3,011,000) - Like Fabrice Soulier, American pro Olivier Busquet's chip position matches his experience relative to the competition - he's 2nd in both. With over $2.5 million in live earnings including a WPT victory, Busquet won't be happy with less than a win.
Jannick Wrang (2,882,000) - Danish Jannick Wrang finished Day 3 with the chip lead and will enter the final table in 3rd place. He plays as "EDWARDHOPPER" online, and his lifetime combined online and live tournament earnings exceed $1 million.
Balazs Botond (2,080,000) - Hungarian Balazs Botond was this event's leader at the end of Day 2. His lifetime tournament earnings are over $200,000.
Koen De Visscher (1,856,000) - Belgian Koen De Visscher has a bit over $300,000 in lifetime earnings, but actually has the best previous EPT finish at this final table - 3rd place at the 2011 EPT Snowfest.
Stefano Puccilli (1,450,000) - Italian Stefano Puccilli's career-best tournament result was a victory at the 2009 IPT Sanremo for €120,000. His career earnings are about $260,000.
Mario Nagel (1,210,000) - Italian Mario Nagel is the least experienced player at the final table, with about $11,000 in previous live cashes.
Robin Ylitalo (1,153,000) - Swedish Robin Ylitalo enters the final table with the fewest chips, but he still has 48 big blinds at the current 12,000/24,000/3,000 level so there's plenty of play left for everyone. His career earnings exceed $50,000.
