Day 5 of the 2015 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event started with 15 players, but by the end of the night was down to the final six players. A steady stream of bustouts throughout the day saw the average amount of chips soar to around 80 big blinds, setting the stage for an exciting finale.
The six remaining players are all now guaranteed €233,500, and Lebanese Hady El Asmar leads the way with 3,955,000, just 15,000 chips over Muhyedine Fares in second place. Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden is still alive with 45 big blinds, as is EPT10 Player of the Year Ole Schemion with 71 big blinds.
