Perna Leads Final Nine in Event #3: €1,350 NLH Mini Main Event; Updates and Live Stream on Saturday, November 25
Out of a field of 1397 players from the three starting flights, only nine remain to chase the gold bracelet and of course the €250,175 up top, plus the Main Event WSOPE Ticket, here at King's Resort.
Bracelet winner Jack Sinclair, although he has a short stack, he is still in contention of becoming a two-time bracelet holder.
Other players in the final table include Rolf van Brug, Omid Novin, Alessandro Picchieri, the super-short stack Pablo Finini and familiar face Vivian Saliba.
Marius Gicovanu and Emil Bise who piloted big stacks since Day 1, managed to get to the final table as the second and third biggest stacks respectively.
At the top, sits Ciro Perna who after a couple of crucial pots late in Day 2, managed to get to this final table as the man to beat.
