Day 3 Started
Welcome to the Day 3 finale of the £50,000 EPT London Super High Roller at PokerStars European Poker Tour London. Cards go in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time for the exciting conclusion to this high-stakes event.
The tournament drew 39 entries and generated a prize pool of £1,891,890, from which the winner will receive £652,700. All six returning players are guaranteed a min-cash of £132,430.
Spain’s Juan Pardo holds a commanding lead over the six remaining players after he ran it up to 5,500,000 in the closing levels of the evening. Pardo is looking for his second title of the series after he took down the £10,200 Mystery Bounty for £80,280 and nearly £160,000 in bounties.
His total is more than three times that of his nearest competitor, Philip Sternheimer, who bagged 1,615,000 after a productive Day 2. Sternheimer is followed on the leaderboard by Daniel Dvoress, the only other player to finish with more than 1,000,000 chips.
