The €8,500 buy-in, Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final is down to its last nine players, and among them still sits one highly recognizable pro with more chips than all the others.  PokerStars pro Vanessa Selbst, currently leads the remaining field with nearly 4,000,000 in tournament chips, the result of nearly a week’s worth of work that saw a total starting field of 764 players whittled down to a mere handful.

Despite other tough competitors like Soren Konsgaard, Tobias Reinkemeier, and France’s own Fabrice Soulier still sitting with chips as well, Selbst is clearly in good shape to possibly claim this event’s €1,300,000 top prize- the largest portion of an impressive total prize pool worth €5,684,160 (or about $7,200,000), however first she’ll have to wait.  Much like the World Series of Poker’s Main Event, the Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final, now that its down to nine players, will not conclude until early November, allowing the final competitors plenty of time to formulate a plan for their last day of play.

The chip counts for the final table of the Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final are as follows:

Vanessa Selbst- 3,951,000

Fabrice Soulier- 3,652,000

Raouf Ibrahim- 3,492,000

Ali Tekintamgac- 3,289,000

Tommi Etelapera- 3,129,000

Raphael Kroll- 2,390,000

Soren Konsgaard- 1,073,000

Tobias Reinkemeier- 819,000

Cyril Andre- 600,000
