Morning all. It’s seat draw time again. Here are the table assignments for the final 55 players. The general idea is usually to reduce this field to 24 — ie, the last three tables — but I suspect we may go a little further and just play five 90-minute levels regardless. That, however, is the decision of the tournament officials, and we’ll let you know what they come up with.
Our chip-leader is still Finland’s Aku Joentausta, and there are still four former EPT champions in the mix: Liv Boeree, Sandra Naujoks, Kevin Stani and Thang Duc Nguyen. Should be an exciting day.
One other point: there are still 22 Germans in this field, accounting for precisely 40 per cent of the players left. The home nation has thus increased its presence as a percentage of the field day-by-day, which has never happened before.
Their average stack is now 422,000, which is slightly below the tournament average of 500,000 however. So can they keep up this remarkable showing into tomorrow? Only one way to find out, and that’s to watch today. Here’s the cast-list:
