Pokerstars har sammanställt några korta biografier över de kvarvarande spelarna:
Seat 1. Dave Gregory (UK) - 910,000 chips
The biggest win that former market trader Dave Gregory, 47, has ever had before today is £16,000 in a tournament in Brighton, on the UKs South Coast. The father-of-two has only been playing Texas Holdem for three years and is amazed to now find himself sitting next to Phil Ivey at the final table of EPT3 Barcelona. He said: Well, Ive seen him on TV but when you sit next to him, you realize how well he plays.
Seat 4. Phil Ivey (US) 2,200,000 chips
Poker superstars don't come much bigger than Phil Ivey, now making his EPT debut. Phil, 30, is becoming one of the most successful tournament players in history - with a WSOP record of 24 cashes and 5 bracelets in just four years. He's a cash-game Goliath too - a regular in the Bellagio 'big game'.
Seat 5. Bjorn-Erik Glenne (Norway) - 1,700,000 chips
Bjorn-Erik, 35, is no stranger to the EPT: 19th in Copenhagen last year and 15th in a 1,000 side event in last years EPT Grand Final. He's already way ahead of that and now guaranteed to take his biggest ever cash result back to Oppegard, Norway. Bjorn-Erik, also a high-ranking chess player, was the Norwegian No Limit champion in 2005 and is a PokerStars regular, enjoying substantial success in the $100 re-buy tournaments.
