The record-breaking 2022 PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour €5,300 Main Event drew 2,294 runners over two opening flights to generate a €11,125,900 prize pool, of which €1,714,000 will go to the winner of Sunday’s final table.
Just six players remain in the hunt for the top spot and Patrik Jaros holds the lead with 14,975,000. Jaros started the fifth day third in chips and was steadily growing his stack, eventually taking a seat at the unofficial final table with the chip lead. He was responsible for the elimination of Paul Fischill in ninth place to extend his lead, and stayed consistent throughout the rest of the day, putting himself in prime position for the final day.
