Led by Anaras Alekberovas (467,000), the top five at the end of the day included a host of lesser known talent, including Tahiri Hassani (434,500), Antonio Alfaia (430,500) and Alvaro Ballesteros (351,500).However, while the top of the table might not be bursting with famous faces, that doesn’t mean some of the poker world’s finest haven’t made it through to Day 3 of the €3,500 event. Currently through and searching for a WPT trophy as well as $258,448 in prize money, is Lukas Berglund (347,000), Manuel Bevand (178,500), Bryn Kenney (123,500) and Steve O’Dwyer (112,000).
