Level 16: 5,000/10,000/10,000
Entries: 11/83
Prize Pool: €221,403

The €3,000 Bounty Cuatro High Roller attracted a total of 83 entrants, creating a €221,403 prize pool, which includes €63,000 reserved for bounties. Only 11 players will return to the Royal Dublin Society at 1 p.m. for the final day, with Andreas Goeller of Italy (760,000) leading from Luka Sorainen of Finland (616,000) and Pole Pawel Krol (599,000).

Goeller finished fifth in the EPT San Remo Main Event back in 2014, while Sorainen’s biggest career score is a 20th place finish in the EPT Barcelona Main Event in 2024. Krol is the EPT Barcelona €1,000 Mystery Bounty champion from 2024.

Plenty of other quality players remain in the mix, including Joris Ruijs (211,000), seventh in the Dutch all-time money list, Stephen Kehoe (107,000) and Elias Suhonen (50,000).

Day 1 finished on the bubble, with Endrit Geci just missing the Day 2 cut, although that blow will have been softened by taking two bounties worth €3,000 each.
