Grigorii Rodin and Peter Jorgne Hunting for Back-To-Back Final Tables as 57 Return for Day 4 of EPT Paris Main Event

Of the 1,747 entries that the �5,300 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris Main Event attracted, just 57 will make an appearance at Le Palais des Congr��s today at noon local time for Day 4. Two of them have a chance to achieve something extraordinary, as both Grigorii Rodin and Peter Jorgne are looking to make consecutive EPT final tables, although each in a different way.

Rodin finished sixth at the previous EPT stop, just over two months ago in Prague, and will have to spin up his stack of 275,000, or just under 14 big blinds at the start of play, to still have a shot at making his second final table in a row. Meanwhile, Jorgne sits in a more comfortable position, as he bagged 1,475,000 chips on Day 3. He is experiencing another deep run in Paris after finishing runner-up during the inaugural EPT in the French capital in 2023.

Jorgne's stack lands him in the ninth position on the leaderboard, which is topped by Panagiotis Mavritsakis. The Greek player, who is playing in his very first EPT, bagged 2,930,000 chips on Day 3, over 30 big blinds more than his nearest competitor Eric Afriat, who will start with 2,300,000. EPT Barcelona 2013 champion Tom Middleton, meanwhile, rounds out the top three with a stack of 2,190,000 chips.
