The field of the WPT Amsterdam €3,300 Main Event was chopped down to only six players after Day 3 of the tournament, which was played on Friday, May 13. The day kicked off with 38 remaining players whose task was to burst the bubble and to determine the six finalists that are to appear at the final table today.
Six-handed play is set to start with US-based poker pro Andjelko Andrejevic holding more chips than any other player left. The player will kick off the Main Event’s final day with a total of 3,345,000 in chips. So far, Andrejevic has won $2,319,687 in live tournament earnings. Almost half of that money came when the player topped the field of the APPT 2015 ACOP HK$500,000 Super High Roller. He collected HK$8,725,000 ($1,1125,722) for his victory.
The WPT Amsterdam Main Event saw 318 entries pay the €3,300 buy-in fee in order to enter the prestigious tournament. They generated a prize pool of €911,881, which is to be distributed to the top 36 finishers. The winner is to be paid the amount of €200,000, which includes a $15,400 seat into the Tournament of Champions.
Headlining the official final table, Anthony Zinno will also be among the players that will try their luck today to scoop the lion’s share of the prize pool and the tournament trophy. If Zinno indeed manages to win the event, this will be his fourth-ever WPT title. What is more, he will become the first player in WPT history to win four Main Tour titles. Zinno will start the six-handed final table of the WPT Amsterdam Main Event third in chips with a total of 1,375,000.
Here are all six survivors and their respective chip counts:
Andjelko Andrejevic – 3,345,000
Tomas Fara – 2,115,000
Anthony Zinno – 1,375,000
Emrah Cakmak – 1,050,000
Hans Bosman – 840,000
Senh Ung – 815,000
Big names like Jack Salter, Steve O’Dwyer, Jason Wheeler, and November Niner Pierre Neuville could not make it to the event’s final stage. In fact, Neuville was among the first players to leave the event after the bubble burst yesterday. The Belgian collected his career 100th cash of €6,200 for finishing 35th in the WPT Amsterdam Main Event.
