There may yet be a twist in the fantasy poker tale, but one thing is certain, PPT regulars Robert Haigh, Toni Merivuori and Gøkmen Cetin will all have a crucial part to play.The trio are leading their teams deep into the ParadisePoker Tour points here in Vienna, putting Dvinyard, TERRORFISH, Janusthor 23 and poker$gyk firmly in contention for the €1,100 prize package to Vienna.
After grinding for hours, German Haigh doubled through to around 220,000 chips with AQ vs 88. Meanwhile, PPT League 1 winner Merivuori has been surviving in his typical style, sitting short of the average on 110,000, but cannot be written off after proving a model of consistency in Season One.
Dane Cetin (pictured before his rush) was the biggest stack overnight and has twice the equity in the Main Event, having backed himself in his own fantasy team! He looked to have faded late in the day, but a sudden burst of action has propelled him back among the big stacks.
First his AK doubled through against 88 when his life was on the line, before a second big pot - this time with the biggest stack at the table - saw him surpass 340,000 chips.
An aggressive exchange had Gøkmen on his feet, high-fiving his supporters as his K♦K♠ held up against A♠Q♥ after all the money went in pre-flop.
