WSOP Europe Final Table Preview

It’s final table time in Enghien-les-Bains where five Europeans, including two WSOP bracelet winners, will be joined by one lone American in what should be a battle for the ages!

NITSCHE, SOULIER HIGHLIGHT FT FIELD

Dominik Nitsche GPIWSOP bracelet winner and WPT Champions Club member Dominik Nitsche (GPI#81) is in prime position to take down the Main Event. The young German has tons of experience both on the live and virtual felts despite being just 22 years old.

French star Fabrice Soulier (GPI#354) is also in prime position at this final table. It’s been a very tough year for Soulier. After years of collecting hundred of thousands of dollars on an annual basis, Soulier has earned less than 50K USD so far this season … until now! All of France will be behind their native son.

Benny Spindler GPISpain’s Adrian Mateos Diaz (GPI#411) will carry the chip lead heading into the final table on Friday. He will be joined by WPT Champions Club member Ravi Raghavan (GPI#23), EPT Champion Benjamin Spindler (GPI#321) and relative unknown Jerome Huge.
