EPT Vienna Final Table Preview

Another local player seeks to win big in his hometown while a slew of others will try to stop him as the final table is set at EPT Vienna…

VIENNA VICTORY AWAITS

The EPT Vienna final table is set and it’s local hero Anthony Ghamrawi (GPI#20722) that leads the way. The Vienna man is the only player sitting with over 5M chips … however, his road to the title certainly won’t be an easy one.

WSOP bracelet winner Simeon Naydenov (GPI#205) is one the experienced players remaining that will try and snag the chip lead away from Ghamrawi when final table play begins on Saturday.

And although they’re short on chips, don’t count out circuit veterans Oleksii Khoroshenin and Marko Neumann (pictured, right) who will both try and get back into things early during final table action.

FINAL SET IN HIGH ROLLER EVENT

They’re down to nine players in the High Roller event as final day play will also be featured on Saturday. Dmitry Yurasov (GPI#639) will have a small lead on Benjamin Spindler (GPI#286) at the start … with other big names in the game also looking to take down the High Roller title…
