Stephen Graner Leads EPT Prague 2014 Final Table

The EPT Prague final table is underway with Hawaiian-born Stephen Graner in the lead with 8,985,000 chips. The 26-year-old poker pro, who currently lives in Las Vegas, is on a trip round Europe and decided to add EPT Prague to his schedule. Graner is on track to better his biggest score to date, which he achieved this summer at the World Series, finishing sixth in the Millionaire Maker event for $273,854.

EPT Deauville champion Remi Castaignon has a chance to match Vicky Coren Mitchell's achievement as a two-time EPT winner - he is the only player at the final who already has an EPT title in his pocket, although the Frenchman started the final table with the shortest stack.

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst finished in 14th place, following Tamer Kamel who was knocked out right before her. Sam Grafton and Andras Nemeth both missed the final as well, leaving the Main Event in 12th and 11th place respectively. EPT8 Berlin champion and the triple crown winner Davidi Kitai also fell shy of the final table, the Belgian added 10th place finish to his name. Former Magic: The Gathering world champion Jakub Slemr from the Czech Republic bubbled the final in 9th place to secure the best result for the host country. After his exit the official final table started with 8 players remaining in the title race. Play continues to the end of this level (level 5) or final six players.
