No Latinos at the final table: this is how the Onyx High Roller Series Main Event ended

The US$25,500 Main Event of the Onyx High Roller Series now has a final table. Day 2 started with 38 players and, after just over four hours of action, only nine contenders for the title remained at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa in Cyprus.

The main protagonist of the day was Raoul Kanme

Austria
, with 10,210,000. The podium is completed by Manuel Fritz
Austria
, who bagged 6,880,000.

The tournament had 255 entries and generated a prize pool of US$6,120,000. The champion will take home no less than US$1,250,000, while all the final table members have already secured US$143,000.

The Main Event had Latin presence, but none of the representatives managed to reach the final. Julián Pineda

Colombia
was eliminated during Day 1A, while Nacho Barbero
Argentina
met the same fate on Day 1B.

Thus, there were no representatives from the Armada among the 38 who returned to play Day 2 nor, consequently, among the nine who made it to the final table.

, Sergio Aido
Spain
, Eelis Parssinen
Finland
(all three cashed US$85,000) and Aleksejs Ponakovs
Lithuania
(US$72,000)
.

Kolev, who had finished second in chips on Day 1B and had just won the US$10,400 Mystery Bounty, ended 17th; Aido was 16th, while Parssinen was eliminated in 14th place.

The final table bubble was protagonized by Ravi Sheth

United Kingdom
, who finished tenth and took home US$120,000. Sheth first managed to double up, but ultimately fell to Kanme in a huge flip: A-K against J-J. The board did not help the Brit and his elimination finalized the final table.
