R12.5k Main Event

African Ace looks at the Emerald R12.5K Main Event final table.

After two days of action, we are now down to the final nine players.

Rudolf Fourie - who is fresh off his High Roller victory - leads with 1.3M chips. This is 34 big blinds deep and double the average.

Gareth Kalil, who made some impressive moves on Day 2, is second in chips on 995K.

There are 5.89M chips in play, with an average stack of 655K.

Players return to final table on Level 24, with blinds at 20K-40K-40K.

Who will be crowned the champion?

What The Counts Mean

The top three hold 54% of the chips in play, so the field is top-heavy.

4 of the 9 sit at or above the 655K average.
