The most interesting storyline is that of Ensan.

If Ensan is to ride his rush to the championship of this WPT event, he would become the first player since Niall Farrell in 2017 to turn the feat and only the tenth player in the history of poker to pull off the task of winning poker’s Triple Crown.
The final table of the WPT Germany will begin at noon (6AM Eastern Time U. S.) at the King’s Casino in Rozvadov. The official WPT final table will be determined with the final six players. Can Ensan become the tenth Triple Crown champion? Can Speranza ride his rush to the title? Or will it be someone from the pack taking the title?
