EPT Prague Down to 9

Filed in archive Tournament News on December 14, 2007

While the Asian Pacific Poker Tour Grande Finale is starting up, the European Poker Tour in Prague is winding down. Not to say the action has died for this season four EPT record event that 555 players ponied up the 5,000 Euros to race for the EPT Prague title.

But we are at the final table and nine players with names this American can't pronounce but 100% sure they are much better poker players, will be returning to the Hilton Prague Hotel today for the shot at 708,000 Euro first prize plus a buy in to the season ending Monte Carlo finale.

From the PokerStarsBlog.com here are the chip stacks going into today's final table:

Seat 1 - Juha Lauttamus - Finland - 567k
Seat 2 - Kristian Kjondal - Norway - 740k
Seat 3 - Gino Alacqua - Italy - 660k
Seat 4 - Markus Golser - Austria - 352k
Seat 5 - Mikael Norinder - Sweden - 1,036,000
Seat 6 - Nedzib Suman - Sweden - 216k
Seat 7 - Dagomir Palovic - Slovakia - 759k
Seat 8 - Johannes Strassmann - PokerStars player - Germany - 245k
Seat 9 - Arnaud Mattern - France - 980k

As always for these events, the option is open for all PokerStars players to qualify online. Nearly 20% of the field got in this way and with two kids running around, its probably my best shot at landing some bricks of Euros.
