Only 39 players have made it through the first 13 levels of the PLO 6-Max Championship, a €350 buy-in tournament that drew 317 entries.

Those who return today at 1 p.m. have survived the bubble. Later tonight, a victor will march upstairs to the balcony with a trophy in his or her hand to pose for the winner’s photos.

It’s too early to call who that may be, but the 2019 Irish Open Main Event champ Weijie Zheng is a strong contender.

Zheng is first in chips. That, paired with his track record at Europe’s oldest-running poker festival, is a strong combo.

Will anyone stop him from taking down the €18,960 top prize? We’ll see in a few hours. Along the way, you can be as close to the tables as it gets while online — thanks to our live reporting from 2 p.m.
