The prestigious grind of the �5,300 EPT Main Event, running as part of the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona, continues today with Day 6 of this seven-day event. At noon local time, the remaining 16 competitors will return to Casino Barcelona to make a play for their share of the �9,578,750 prize pool, all vying for the Gold PokerStars shard and the first-place prize of �1,512,000.
As the dust settled last night, Rania Nasreddine easily took pole position in the counts, having amassed a stack of 7,200,000 by the end of proceedings. Nasreddine most notably finished third in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event just five months ago, making this tournament run a compelling campaign for back-to-back final tables.

However, Nasreddine��s path to the top is not yet clear of obstacles with the likes of Fabiano Kovalski and David Coleman still commanding healthy stacks of 5,550,000 and 3,570,000, respectively.
Coleman��s reputation speaks for itself, and this deep run is yet another opportunity for him to claim an additional major title in his already fruitful career as a professional. In addition, Kovalski finished fourth in the 2022 EPT Barcelona Main Event for �565,280 and will be sure to put up a fight in hopes of exceeding his own personal best set two years ago.
