The top-ranked player, out of the final 6, of the €100,000 PokerStars EPT Super High Roller presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®️ is Adrian Mateos. With €1,385,430 up for grabs, Mateos leads the pack of six players fighting to share the jackpot.
The Super High Roller drew 42 entries (including 12 re-entries), generating a €4,074,840 prize pool. The top six finishers will split the prize money.
Mateos is in a prime position to win his fifth career seven-figure prize. He had already had a €1 million score at EPT Monte Carlo, albeit in the 2015 Main Event.
This year marks the first time the Spaniard has reached paid places in the €100k Super High Roller. With 4,485,000 in chips, Mateos holds a substantial lead over his rivals.
Second in the standings is Norwegian businessman Kent Staahle, a newcomer rubbing shoulders with the high-stakes elite. Staahle has 2,005,000.
Laszlo Bujtas, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, Mikita Badziakouski, and Marius Gierse will also return for the final day, having secured €285,240 apiece.
