Day 4 of the €5,300 EPT Barcelona 2025 Main Event has wrapped, and with just 29 players remaining, the pressure is finally starting to match the payouts. What began as a 2,045-entry field — the third-largest EPT Main Event in history — is now down to a few tables’ worth of contenders, all chasing the €1,436,000 first prize.

At the top of the chip counts sits France’s Yohan Rascar, who bagged 5,725,000 — the only player to end the day above five million. Close behind are Sergio Carro Marin of Spain and Sebastian Ionita of Romania, with 4,275,000 and 3,670,000 respectively.

Rascar Out Front, Brits Close Behind

The Day 4 field started with 104 players, and while it was stacked with talent, it was not stacked with EPT champions. All former titleholders had already exited by this point, guaranteeing a new name on the EPT trophy.

The action trimmed the field to 29, each now guaranteed €34,800. But with €1.4 million still on the line, there’s a long way to go — and several high-stakes hurdles left to clear.

Rascar’s run into the chip lead gives France a strong shot at producing another EPT champion, but there’s plenty of resistance from across Europe. Rifat Palevic (Sweden), Umberto Zaffagnini (Italy), and Tobias Leknes (Norway) all return with seven-figure stacks, as do Leo Worthington-Leese and Marc Foggin, representing the UK.

Worthington-Leese is no stranger to deep EPT runs — his resume already includes a final table finish in Cyprus last year — and he’ll enter Day 5 with 2,705,000, giving him room to manoeuvre.

Among the short stacks heading into Day 5:

  • El Mostafa Bel Khayate – 550,000
  • Firoz Mangroe – 430,000

Meanwhile, Martin Nielsen, who bagged the chip lead on Day 3, returns with 1,540,000 and a shot at redemption.
