EPT PRAGUE: MOORMAN COMES CLOSE BUT OUT AS FINAL TABLE IS SET

Things certainly got interesting for a few days. Many eyes in the poker world were on Chris Moorman who had a great opportunity to surpass Ben Lamb at the top of the 2011 PTPR Player of the Year Race ... just days before the 2011 POY is crowned!

But alas, after contending for days, Moorman was ousted from EPT Prague earlier today and Lamb's lead is safe atop the leaderboard. Moorman was still able to move up four spot on the Leaderboard - moving into the Top 10 ...



PTPR LEADERBOARD LIVE LOOK-IN:
7. Andrey Pateychuk, 298 PTPR Points
8. Matthew Waxman, 289
9. Chris Moorman, 286
10. Brian Rast, 283
11. Ali Eslami, 281
12. Steve O'Dwyer 278

Moorman also becomes the eigth player to pickup his seventh PTPR Score of the 2011 season. He joins ElkY, Alessio Isaia, Jason Mercier, Will Failla, Matthew Waxman, Steve O'Dwyer and Maxim Lykov at seven. 2010 Player of the Year Sorel Mizzi had 10 PTPR Scores on the season.

It should be a very interesting final table nonetheless, even with Moorman's exclusion from Saturday's play.

Martin Finger will enter Saturday's play as the chip leader. Finger - who has scores at EPT Berlin and EPT Barcelona side events this year - has a very small lead on Nicolas Levi - who also has two PTPR Scores on the season (LAPC Side Event, WSOP).

Master Classics Dutch Open Champ David Boyaciyan hopes to continue his strong play of late while short stack Mads Wissing will hope to do better than he did at the Partouche Grand Final last month - Wissing was the first one out in Cannes.

PTPR FINAL TABLE IN-FOCUS:
195. Danyel Boyaciyan, 103 PTPR Points
250. Nicolas Levi, 88
560. Martin Finger, 45
1646. Ari Engel, 15
1646. Mads Wissing, 15
1831. Andreas Wiese, 12
