We have reached the 32nd level of play, with 11 players still in the running to reach the final table. The blinds are currently set at 200,000/400,000 with a 400,000 ante, and the average stack is 14,300,000 chips, which is just over 30 big blinds. A ticket for the WSP Main Event has already been awarded, as the 12th-place finisher not only secured the cash prize but also earned a spot in one of the year's most prestigious events, at least here in Europe.
As for the latest eliminations, we’ve had to say goodbye to key players from the past few days, including the Italians Stefano Bertoldi, who finished 15th, and Gaspare Giglio, who came in 18th. Additionally, Dino Volkholz, mentioned in the previous post and runner-up at the 2023 IPS, has also been eliminated. However, the winner of the 2023 IPS, Jakub Oliva, is still in the running at the outer table.
Patrick Jaros, seated at the outer table, leads the field with over 28 million chips. The ever-present PistolPete from Germany joins him, a familiar face in the most recent prominent EuroRounders events. At the feature table, the standout player is the last remaining Italian, Valerio Marino, who still has about 30 big blinds to work with.
At the end of the level, the players can enjoy a 15-minute break. However, this break may coincide with the pre-final table pause since they are just two eliminations away from reaching the final table. Here's the list of all the latest eliminations:
