It's getting down to the nitty gritty in Barcelona. When we post our next report, the final table participants will be known ... for now, it's down to three tables with a second unknown online qualifier leading the charge.
One day after Antonin Duda took Barcelona by storm, it's PokerStars online qualifier Samuel Rodriguez' (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) time to shine.
Rodriguez - who was second after Day 3 play - nearly quadrupled his chip stack on Thursday, becoming the only player left in the field with more than 3.1M in chips ... he in fact has more than 5.3M chips.
Sitting behind Rodriguez in the standings is colourful Aussie poker pro Jonathan Karamalikis (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-458th). Better known to most by his online poker and Twitter handle xMonsterxDongx, Karamalikis will certainly be looking to his vast poker experience to guide his to a final table on Friday.
There are still a bunch of other top players still alive as we play down to the first final table this season on the European Poker Tour. Lead by two former former EPT Champs (Morten Mortensen (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-435th) and Roberto Romanello (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-501st)) and a Olympic Gold Medalist (Fatima Moreira de Melo (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR)) and other notables Cailly, Schemion, Juanda, Roy, Sahamies and Jouhkimainen, we are certainly looking at one of the best Final 24 fields in EPT history.
