A Champion Will be Crowned in the 2019 WPT Barcelona €3,300 Main Event

Only six players out of a field of 1,227 entries remain in the WPT Barcelona Season 2018-2019 €3,300 Main Event and it is a topsy-turvy line-up with six players from six different countries, featuring two big stacks, two middle stacks and two short stacks. The lion’s share of the €3,570,570 prize pool is still up for grabs at Casino Barcelona and all finalists already have €120,000 locked up for their efforts.

Latvia’s Vitalijs Zavorotnijs (pictured) enteres the final table first in chips with 10,635,000, narrowly ahead of France’s Eric Sfez (10,265,000). Niko Koop (6,305,000) and Boris Kolev (5,025,000) are in the middle of the pack, one double-up away from becoming the chip leader, while Jerry Odeen (2,605,000) and Alain Zeidan (1,975,000) will return with 22 and 16 big blinds respectively.

Final Table Seat Assignments

The final day will get underway at approximately 12 p.m. local time with 1:03:05 left in level 32 with blinds of 60,000-120,000 and a big blind ante of 120,000. As part of the six-handed format for the final, the blind level duration will revert back to 60 minutes each and that will be cut in half during the heads-up stage.

All contenders for the WPT Main Event title will receive eight fresh 30-second shot clocks for the final showdown and the Action Clock by Protection Poker is in play.
