Am Mittwoch kamen die letzten 39 Spieler von ehemals 756 Entries zurück an die Tische im Casino Sochi (Russland) und gingen in den Kampf um einen der begehrten Plätze am Final Table des €1.034 Pokerstars National Championship Sochi Main Event. Als Chipleader startete der Russe Viacheslav Zhukov, doch mehr als Platz 19 sprang für ihn am Ende auch nicht raus. Deutschsprachige Teilnehmer gab es leider keine. Dafür war PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero aus Argentinien noch mit von der Partie. Für ihn war dann aber kurz vor dem Final Table auf Platz 9 für ca. €9.950 Endstation. Als Chipleader geht der Russe Vitaly Avanesyan in den letzten Tag. Alle Finalisten haben schon ein Preisgeld von ca. €25.664 sicher. Auf den Sieger warten am Donnerstag ca. €131.240.
Für die Finalisten geht es am Donnerstag mit 13 Minuten left im Level 28 bei Blinds 40.000/80.000 Ante 10.000 weiter.
