Now only six players remain to battle it out for the title, the bracelet and the first-place prize of €1,000,000. Here is a look at the final six:

This final six boasts more than $12 million in combined live tournament earnings, with two World Series of Poker bracelets, two World Poker Tour titles and a European Poker Tour main event win under their collective belts.
