EPT GRAND FINAL: DOWN TO 26 IN MONTE CARLO - POTIJK LEADS THE WAY

PICTURE: POKERSTARS (Neil Stoddart)

Only 26 players remain at the EPT Grand Final Main Event in Monte Carlo. One of the final 26 players will collect 1.5M EURO when all is said and done.

Dutch player Geert-Jan Potijk is the overnight chip leader. Potijk enjoyed a 96th place finish at EPT London in 2011. Potijk's lead is a small one, we'll have to see if he can keep things trending upwards on Sunday.

American Mohsin Charania - who started the day second in chips - is still alive. Charania sits somewhere near the middle of the pack with fellow American Jason Wheeler.

EPT Deauville Champ Vadzim Kursevich (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 13th) sits near the bottom of the remaining 26 but, he still has plenty of chips to go around.
