Best-positioned for the first-place payout of €1,000,000 is Aristeidis Moschonas with 36.55 million in chips.

Daniel Chutrov heads into Day 4 of the 2018 OlyBet Kings of Tallinn €1,100 Main Event with the chip lead, bagging 638,000 in chips at the end of Day 3. The Bulgarian is shooting for his second big win after previously shipping the Unibet Open Glasgow in 2015. The day began with 60 hopefuls competing for the €62,000 top prize or at least the minimum cash paid to the top 31 players. The first blind level witnessed a slew of eliminations before the action slowed down during the second level.

In professional sports, some athletes naturally become role models whether they like it or not. The same thing happens in poker. It's not what most professional poker players sign up for, but it comes with the nature of big scores and televised coverage. Most of the poker players that are role models don't see themselves as such. They just show up to the tables, do their job, hopefully collect a paycheck, and go home.
