7:21pm: David Yan wins €465,800 after calling huge Hajiyev bluffLevel 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
This one's over! Despite having almost identical chip stacks, David Yan has just becoming the newest EPT High Roller. Here's the way it happened.
Yan, Yan, he's our man
Ramin Hajiyev kicked off with an open to 55,000 with the 9♥6♦ and faced a three-bet to 185,000. Yan had done his raising holding the Q♣T♣, but Hajiyev wasn't done with this one yet. He counted out a four-bet to 395,000 and slid it over the road. Yan called.
The dealer spread a J♥T♦5♥ flop and Hajiyev continued for 340,000 after Yan checked. With middle pair Yan just flatted, and the turn came the 7♦, giving Hajiyev a gutshot. Yan checked, and Hajiyebv slowed down, checking behind. Finally the Q♥ river gave Yan top two pair. Hajiyev should have seen opportunity to take down the pot and he announced all-in, to which Yan responded by soliciting for a count. It was for 850,000, and Yan had roughly 70,000 more. He made the proper call and this one was done.
Congratulations to David Yan who just banked €465,800, and Ramin Hajiyev who I'm sure will find consolation within the €334,400 second place money.

7:15pm: Yan flops a boatLevel 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
David Yan opened to 53,000 with the 9♣7♣ and Ramin Hajiyev defended with the J♣7♦ to look a flop. And what a flop it was. David Yan flopped a whole house at the 9♠7♠9♥ board and led out for 45,000 when it was checked to him. Hajiyev also had a couple and made the call.
The turn came the Q♣ and it checked to Yan another time. He didn't slow down, betting 130,000 which Hajiyev called. Finally the river was the Q♠ and that modified a couple of things. Hajiyev's hand was counterfeited (but his chips were also saved) and checked a last time. Yan fired a 3rd bullet worth 210,000 but Hajiyev got away. He has 1.57 million now, just behind Yan's 1.6 million. --JS
7:11pm: AND we're backLevel 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
Our heads up players have returned and cards are back within the air. Yan v Hajiyev. --JS
7pm: Khoroshenin shoves, loses, out in third winning €217,400Level 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
We are heads up in Malta after Oleksii Khoroshenin was knocked out by Ramin Hajiyev, leaving Hajiyev now a chip-leader for the primary time.
Khoroshenin completed from the small blind with 3♣3♠ and Hajiyev raised to 85,000 with A♠T♣. Khoroshenin called.
That took them to a flop of 4♥2♣6♦ they usually both checked. After which the T♠ came at the turn. On the first time within the hand that he was behind, Khoroshenin bet. He slid out 105,000. But Hajiyev raised to 280,000.
Oleksii Khoroshenin's time is up
Khoroshenin thought someone was toying with him and shoved for 808,000 total. Hajiyev called immediately.
The river was the 9♥ and Khoroshenin was done. Hajiyev had marginally the larger stack and goes into the heads-up battle with 1.84 million chips. His opponent, David Yan, has 1.4 million.
6:45pm: Khoreshenin getting creativeLevel 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
David Yan opened his button to 55,000 with Q♥9♣ but Oleksii Khoreshenin, within the small blind, raised to 185,000 with K♥9♦. Ramin Hajiyev actually found an ace within the big blind, but folded it to the aggression. Yan also folded and Khoreshenin got that one through.
On the following hand, Khoreshenin three-bet too, but this time he had a fair hand: 9♦9♣ and he pushed Hajiyev off T♦6♦.
6:35pm: Three-handed countsLevel 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
| David Yan | New Zealand | 1,460,000 |

6:35pm: Silver shoves once, wins; again, loses; wins €164,030 for fourthLevel 22 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (4,000 ante)
Max Silver had nine big blinds and shoved them in with pocket sixes. Oleksii Khoroshenin folded pocket deuces and Silver took blinds and antes.
However, at the next hand, Silver found Q♦9♦ and shoved again. This time Khoroshenin found A♥T♠ and made the decision and Silver couldn't come from behind to win this one.
The flop came J♠K♣5♠ and Silver was drawing dead by the Q♣ turn. He wins €164,030 for fourth. -- HS
6:30pm: Keep it up doublin', HajiyevLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
He doubled right before the break, and now he's gone done it again. Ramin Hajiyev aroused from sleep with the K♥K♣ and opened to 53,000. Max Silver folded and it was on Oleksii Khoroshenin who also peeked down at a large hand - A♠K♦. He three-bet to 152,000, Hajiyev jammed for 494,000 and Khoroshenin made the call.
The board ran out 8♦6♦4♥2♠J♥ and Hajiyev moved into second place with 1.008 million, while Khoroshenin dropped to 444,000. --JS

5:58pm: Hajiyev gets the doubleLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Ramin Hajiyev found a great spot to double up when he shoved with the A♠9♦ and was called by David Yan with the A♥7♠. The board ran out T♥5♦K♦J♦6♦, keeping Hajiyev on this thing. --JS
5:50pm: Yan and Silver go at it again, Yan doublesLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
"Pretty big flip, man," David Yan said."Yep, pretty big flip," Max Silver agreed.
This one started when David Yan, whose recent defeats in pots to Max Silver, had made his stack not so good as his neighbour's, raised to 50,000 from the button with J♣J♠ and Max Silver, within the small blind, raised to 185,000 with A♣Q♣. Yan shoved for 672,000 more and Silver called.
This was, make no mistake, a reasonably large flip. And Yan won it when the board ran 7♠K♠6♥6♦7♦.
That put Yan back into the chip lead with greater than 1.7 million and cut Silver back off to the quick stack, with 236,000. Oleksii Khoroshenin has 932,000; Ramin Hajiyev 336,000.
5:45pm: Silver four-bets acesLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
If you play numerous pots, players often don't provide you with credit for a fair hand. And that makes it great whilst you find one.
Max Silver was playing numerous pots, after which he picked up A♥A♦ and raised to 45,000 from under the gun. David Yan, who still has greater than one million in chips despite sitting out for a couple of recent hands, raised to 182,000 within the big blind. He only had K♥4♣.
Silver then took his time before cutting out a four-bet. Yan instantly folded.
5:35pm: Huge pot for with a suite of sevens for KhorosheninLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Oleksii Khoroshenin is back into the lead, halting Max Silver's resurgent run in emphatic fashion. Silver actually made an even read and an excellent lay-down to break out from it, but Khoroshenin would be the more happy after receiving a timely boost to his stack.
David Yan began the hand with a raise to 40,000 with Q♥8♥ from the cutoff. Silver called at the button with T♣9♣ and Khoroshenin called within the small blind with 7♥7♦.
This flop had potential for they all. It came 4♦6♣7♣. Khoroshenin, along with his set, bet 85,000 and Yan was wise enough to fold his gutshot. Silver, however, called.
The J♦ came at the turn and Khoroshenin checked. But Silver now bet. He made it 140,000. Khoroshenin shoved for 490,000 more.
Silver had overtaken Khoroshenin before this hand, but said, "That's annoying." He knew he needed to fold, and did. "I BELIEVE you had a set," Silver said. Khoroshenin nodded.
Khoroshenin goes back to the highest of the leader board with that one.
5:30pm: Mikita Badziakouski out in fifth, winning €127,400Level 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
"It's my lucky day," Max Silver said, shortly adding, "I'm so good at poker." His tongue was in his cheek for the second one of these statements having just sent Mikita Badziakouski to the rail in fifth.
Silver was within the small blind with J♣T♠ and raised to 120,000. Badziakouski was within the big blind with A♣K♣ and he shoved for 235,000 total, and Silver was priced in.
Mikita Badziakouski got his chips in good, that's all you'll do
Badziakouski was ahead here, but not after the flop came 6♣9♦T♥. The 2♠ and 3♦ on turn and river were blanks and Silver is now molten, with Badziakouski heading home. He's taking €127,400.
Mikita Badziakouski finds consolation at the rail
5:25pm: Silver doublesLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Max Silver has had no problem in getting his chips in pre-flop, but hasn't had anyone call him. In the past. He three-bet jammed his last 416,000 after Ramin Hajiyev had opened, and Silver was in trouble. Hajiyev had Q♦Q♣ and Silver had A♦7♣.
Silver winced, but he got lucky at the flop of T♠4♦A♣. The 2♣ turn and the 7♥ river didn't hurt Silver, so he's now to his high point.
5:25pm: Jamming foursLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Not for the primary time, Max Silver jammed pre-flop. He had pocket fours and it got through.
5:25pm: All changeLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Well, not quite all change, but Ramin Hajiyev has now leapfrogged Oleksii Khoroshenin into second place. Listed below are their stacks:
| David Yan | New Zealand | 1,045,000 |
| Ramin Hajiyev | Azerbaijan | 817,000 |
| Oleksii Khoroshenin | Ukraine | 767,000 |
| Max Silver | UK | 377,000 |
| Mikita Badziakouski | Belarus | 244,000 |
5:15pm: Yan squirms freeLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
All the alarm bells went off for a potentially huge hand here in Malta when Oleksii Khoroshenin found A♥Q♦ within the cutoff and raised to 40,000. David Yan, the one man with more chips, looked down at A♣K♦ within the small blind.
Yan three-bet to 135,000 and Khoroshenin was disciplined enough only to call.
Then it got much more gross. The flop came 9♦T♣J♦, but both players checked. And so they both checked the 8♣ turn, despite the fact that Kohoroshenin was now ahead.
The K♣ came at the river and Khoroshenin finally had of venture. But these guys are good. Yan knew he was behind and folded.
5:05pm: Level upLevel 21 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
They're into Level 21 now, with blinds at 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante. David Yan's 1.03 million stack leads, from Oleksii Khoroshenin's 800,000 and Ramin Hajiyev's 681,000. Silver and Badziakouski are still the shorties.
5pm: Betting junkLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Action folded to David Yan within the small blind and he raised to 42,000. He only had 9♥6♠ but, with a large stack, why not?
Max Silver, within the big blind, had only 8♥5♣ but he called anyway. Why not?
The flop came K♠J♠7♠ and Yan bet 30,000. He probably thought that was a bluff, but Silver folded his inferior holding.
On the following hand, Max Silver moved all-in pre-flop with Ace-Ten and got folds across the table.
4:45pm: Khoroshenin dodges Yan's boatLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Oleksii Khoroshenin found A♣K♠ within the cutoff and raised to 35,000. David Yan, his main rival on the top of the chip counts, called with 9♦9♣ within the small blind.
Yan flopped well. It came 7♠3♠9♠. They both checked and the 7♣ at the turn left Khoroshenin drawing dead.
Yan bet 43,000 and Khoroshenin called. After which the Q♥ came at the river. Yan pushed out a price bet of 175,000. It was an even size to appear like a bluff too, and Khoroshenin took greater than three minutes to determine his play.
Eventually he found the fold, however the hand took Yan as much as 1.1 million.
4:40pm: Aces for SilverLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Max Silver found the primary pair of pocket aces of this final table. He raised from under the gun and David Yan was the one caller with J♦9♠. The flop brought nothing to get Yan in trouble. It was 5♦8♠2♦ and Yan check-folded to Silver's 32,000 bet.
4:35pm: Yan wins the minimum with tripsLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Ramin Hajiyev opened to 32,000 from the cutoff and David Yan called at the button. Then Max Silver called within the small blind, and Mikita Badziakouski called from the large. (Oleksii Khoroshenin will need to have felt terribly left out.)
Hajiyev had Q♣J♠, Yan had K♠T♠, Silver had 3♥3♣ and Baziakouski had A♣7♦.
Only Yan liked the flop, which came 6♦T♣T♦. But nobody had enough to name him when he fired at it with trips.
4:30pm: PaintLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Oleksii Khoroshenin, Ramin Hajiyev and David Yan all found very pretty hands and played them hard.
Khoroshenin raised to 36,000 from the cutoff with K♦T♠, Hajiyev three-bet to 88,000 from the button with Q♣J♥ after which Yan cold four-bet to 185,000 from the small blind with K♠Q♠. That was the primary four bet of the final.
The four-bet worked too. Both Khoroshenin and Hajiyev tank-folded.
4:25pm: Back-to-back SilverLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
After his big bluff against Mikita Badziakouski, Max Silver decided to play two pots back-to-back. The primary one came when he raised his button with T♦9♥ after which needed to fold when Oleksii Khoroshenin three-bet his small blind. Khoroshenin only had 7♦4♥ but Silver wasn't to understand that.
On the following hand, Silver found a valid hand, Q♥Q♣, and raised to 36,000 from the cutoff. Ramin Hajiyev called with A♦9♦ and the large blind already committed.
The flop was all Silver. It came 7♣4♣5♣ and Silver continued with of venture. Hajiyev folded.
4:15pm: Silver puts life at the line; winsLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Max Silver was dwindling, but just found the advantage of an aggressive shove at the river and pushed Mikita Badziakouski off the most productive hand.
Badziakouski raised to 32,000 from under the gun with K♣Q♣ and both the blinds called. David Yan, within the small, found 6♠6♦ ok explanation for a choice. And Silver, with 8♥6♣, thought himself priced in.
A speculative call from Max Silver
Those three saw the flop of 7♦T♠K♦ and all three checked. After which the 8♣ came at the turn. Silver bet 74,000 together with his third pair.
Badziakouski called with top pair and Yan folded, which then took them to the T♦ river. Silver made a bold shove for his last 228,000 and, after a protracted think, Badziakouski said, "I'll watch it without cost in HALF-HOUR". He folded.
4:10pm: Big stacks play small potLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
David Yan and Oleksii Khoroshenin were the massive stacks firstly of the day and they are the large stacks still. And the next pot won't change an entire lot, although it was the pair of them involved.
Oleksii Khoroshenin opened to 35,000 from the button and Yan called within the big blind. Khoroshenin had A♣9♦ and Yan had 4♥4♦.
The flop put Khoroshenin into the lead. It came 2♥9♠8♣ and Yan check-peeled when Khoroshenin bet 40,000.
They both checked the Q♠ turn and Yan also checked the 6♥ river. But Khoroshenin went for value with a chance. He didn't get it because Yan folded.
4:05pm: How they line-upLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
We're coming back to play Level 20 with the next stacks:

| Ramin Hajiyev | Azerbaijan | 672,000 |
| Mikita Badziakouski | Belarus | 451,000 |
| Max Silver | UK | 342,000 |
3:45pm: Break timeLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
That's the primary break of the day, with five players still remaining. The table dynamic is pretty very similar to the way it was at first of the day. Although Ole Schemion is gone, we still have two big stacks--Oleksii Khoroshenin and David Yan--and two small--Max Silver and Mikita Badziakouski.
The big mover of the day is Ramin Hajiyev, who's now in third place. Full counts may be with us on the end of this 20-minute break.
Ramin Hajiyev: The massive climber
3:30pm: Hajiyev doubles through Yan; back into contentionLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (1,000 ante)
Some ballsy play here from Ramin Hajiyev just took his stack beyond 700,000 and took the wind out of David Yan's sails.
Hajiyev was at the button and raised to 30,000 with 8♣7♠. Yan called from the small blind with K♠Q♠ and so they surveyed the T♥T♦2♦ flop.
Yan checked, but Hajiyev continued for 27,000. Yan snapped into gear with a raise to 58,000 but Hajiyev wasn't done. He three-bet his air to 125,000 and Yan quickly passed.
3:25pm: Badziakouski bluffs SilverLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Max Silver opened to 30,000 from the cutoff with J♠T♦ and Mikita Badziakouski called at the button with A♠8♠.
Badziakouski flopped well when the 7♥8♥3♥ appeared, but checked behind after Silver checked.
They also both checked the 4♥ turn. After which the 6♥ appeared at the river and Silver checked again. It was going to be a chop pot unless Badziakouski bet, but he did indeed sense weakness and put out of venture of 60,000.
Silver instantly mucked and Badziakouski added some valuable chips to his short stack.
3:15pm: Hajiyev doubles through Yan; back into contentionLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Ramin Hajiyev and David Yan want to get a room. They only played another big pot against one another, but this one ended with a double up for Hajiyev.
Hajiyev found K♠K♥ and raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Yan, at the button, called with A♣9♣. The flop of 6♥8♣9♦ hit Yan. He now had top pair. But he was still behind those kings.
The both checked that flop, but things got weird at the scary 5♦ turn. Hajiyev checked and Yan bet 43,000. Hajiyev then shipped for 212,000.
Randy Lew, at the EPT Live commentary, thought Hajiyev could indeed get a decision here. And lo and behold, nanonoko was right. Yan did call.
The 8♦ at the river was a blank and the massive pair held. Hajiyev moves his stack beyond 550,000 and is back in contention.
"It was an unusual hand, I WILL BE ABLE TO let you know that," Lew said.
3:05pm: Yan aims for optimum value; Hajiyev wriggles freeLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
In a battle of the blinds, Ramin Hajiyev, with Q♠9♠, hit top pair on a flop of 6♣7♠9♦. David Yan, with J♥T♣, had over-cards and an inside straight draw. Hajiyev check-called Yan's bet of 53,000, but then Yan got there when the 8♣ came at the turn. They both checked.
After the 6♠ at the river, Yan shoved, covering Hajiyev, but he managed to not take the bait and folded.
3pm: Schemion perishes in sixth, wins €98,740Level 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Ole Schemion has become the primary player knocked out of this final table, running pocket jacks into David Yan's pocket kings.
It was the K♦K♥ for Yan and he raised to 28,000 from UTG+1. Schemion shoved for 383,000 from the massive blind with J♠J♥ and Yan obviously called.
There was nothing for Schemion on flop, turn or river, but there has been €98,740 looking forward to him on the payouts cage.
Ole Schemion: Out in sixth
We're right down to five, with Yan now at 1.22 million in chips, that is about 300,000 greater than Oleksii Khoroshenin, his closest challenger.
2:50pm: Silver ONE HUNDRED PC for hands playedLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Max Silver just won the primary hand that he played. He called from the large blind when David Yan raised to 42,000 from the small. Yan had J♣5♥ and Silver Q♣T♣.
The flop of T♠T♥4♦ hit Silver hard, allowing him to test behind after Yan checked. But after the 7♦ river, Silver tried to get value with a raffle of 60,000. But Yan folded.
2:45pm: Schemion trips up in small blindLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Ole Schemion just picked up some chips from Ramin Hajiyev in a battle of the blinds. Schemion's K♣6♥ flopped top pair when the 8♣7♦K♥ appeared but Hajiyev's T♦9♠ also had potential.
Schemion bet 19,000 and got a decision. The 5♠ came at the turn, which missed Hajiyev, but he still called Schemion's 33,000 bet.
The K♦ completed the board and after Schemion bet 58,000, Hajiyev saw no reason to stay around any more.
2:40pm: Hajiyev's nines prevailLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Ramin Hajiyev continues because the most active player, this time finding 9♥9♦ under the gun and raising. Oleksii Khoroshenin found 2♥2♦ within the small blind and called, keeping off set-mining.
He didn't strike gold at the 6♥8♠3♥ flop, but still called when Hajiyev bet 28,000. But they both then checked the J♠ turn and the 3♦ river and the larger pocket pair remained good.
2:35pm: Hajiyev picks one from BadziakouskiLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Ramin Hajiyev is attempting to get things going after the mis-step against Ole Schemion--and he's just managed to bluff Mikita Badziakouski off the most productive hand.
Hajiyev opened to 23,000 from the cutoff with 7♠6♠ and Badziakouski called from the large blind with J♦8♠. Badziakouski hit bottom pair at the flop of A♣8♦Q♥ but check-folded when Hajiyev bet 28,000.
2:30pm: Small pot, better table talkLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Ramin Hajiyev opened to 23,000 from under the gun with Q♥J♦ and David Yan three-bet to K♥J♥ from one seat along. As this went on, Ole Schemion an Hajiyev mentioned their previous hand, each looking to goad each other into revealing what they'd. "YOU ARE GOING TO be pleased," Schemion said, referencing the truth that Hajiyev will soon discover that he made a fair fold. (He made another one, by the way, when he let his cards go after Yan's three-bet.)
2:25pm: Schemion tangles with HajiyevLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Another intriguing pot at the third hand of the day, and this time it was Ramin Hajiyev with the disciplined fold. It was also right. He was behind and got away.
Ole Schemion opened from under the gun, making it 23,000 to play. Schemion had K♥K♣. Hajiyev three-bet to 67,000 with A♣Q♣ and action passed back to Schemion. He shoved.
Schemion was the quick stack sooner than the final, and the shove was for 264,000. But Hajiyev did not have an excessive amount of either and he'd committed 25 percent of his stack. He tanked and tanked and tanked, but folded and both live to fight another day.
2:15pm: Khoroshenin takes chip leadLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Oleksii Khoroshenin opened the second one pot of the day as well, making it 18,000 to play. Mikita Badziakouski called from the large blind with A♥5♥ and flopped top pair at the A♦3♣4♠ flop. Badziakouski check-called Khoroshenin's bet of 29,000. And he check-called a 7♦ turn when Khoroshenin bet 65,000. Then the T♦ came at the river and Badziakouski checked for a 3rd time. Khoroshenin, whose hole cards weren't picked up by the RFID readers at the table, bet 135,000 now. This was suddenly a large pot.
Badziakouski has shown that he is not afraid to get entangled in big pots this week, but he pondered for greater than two minutes before making any decision at the river. After which he folded. Only in any case that did we see Khoroshenin's cards. He had pocket threes for a flopped set and took his chip stack to one million. It would has been more had Badziakouski not made any such disciplined fold. Khoreshenin will take the chip lead.
2:10pm: Cards are within the airLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
There are 31 minutes left in Level 18 and we'll play that out after which go into the following level with out a break. Generally speaking, there is a 20-minute break after every two levels.
Oleksii Khoroshenin took the primary pot with a raise from under the gun. There has been no small blind and Max Silver gave up his big blind.

Good afternoon again and welcome back to Malta. This welcome is on a one-hour security delay. I USED TO BE able to welcome you about an hour ago, but EPT Live is broadcasting this final table cards up so we're publishing in response to their delay. However the broadcast has now started and the players have had their introductions and wandered slowly to the table. Action is imminent. Let's find ourselves a winner, huh.
1:20pm: The entire strategy to a winnerLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
It's the third and final day of the €25,000 High Roller event at EPT Malta with the next six players preparing to divvy up the rest of a €1,592,500 prize pool.
| David Yan | New Zealand | 887,000 |
| Oleksii Khoroshenin | Ukraine | 858,000 |
| Mikita Badziakouski | Belarus | 438,000 |
| Max Silver | UK | 412,000 |
| Ramin Hajiyev | Azerbaijan | 388,000 |
| Ole Schemion | Germany | 267,000 |
As you'll be able to see, it's New Zealand's David Yan leading the best way and he stands the danger of changing into the primary Kiwi to win an important tournament in this tour. Yan already leads the brand new Zealand money list, but no person from his country has ever won an EPT Main Event, nor any more or less High Roller. Will that be changing on the penultimate stop of this tour's 13-year history? Persist with us to seek out out.
Take a glance on the official website of the EPT, with tournament schedule, news, results and accommodation details for EPT13 Malta and the remainder of the season.
Also all of the schedule information is at the EPT App, that's available on both Android or IOS.
