It has been a fantastic nine days of poker at the 2026 Novibet Greek Poker Odyssea, with huge numbers flocking to the Regency Casino, Thessaloniki, and at 2 p.m. on June 19, eight players will return for the final day of combat in the €1,000 Main Event, while the final side events will also take place.

After a frenetic five hours of action in Day 3, a field of 30 players was reduced to the official final table, with Apostolos Kofidis of Greece (8,775,000) in pole position, holding a slender lead over Borislav Yosifov of Bulgaria (7,525,000), while Kofidis’ compatriot Fotios Ntamaris (5,725,000) completes the podium places.

Kofidis is targeting a maiden live tournament win, and has recorded career results of $33,601, with his best score being a 19th place finish in a Mystery Bounty event at EPT Paris in February.

Lulei Hu of Italy (4,525,000) has accumulated four final table appearances in the last month alone, contributing to his career total of almost $1.6 million in cashes, while Dimitar Toshev (4,250,000) is 75th in the Bulgarian all-time money list, and targeting a third victory in the live arena.

Greek duo Dimitris Zourantzidis (4,200,000) and Emmanouil Livanos (3,925,000) have already secured career-best scores, while Emmanouil Asgoudakis (2,350,000) is the 2023 Greek Poker Masters champion (All figures courtesy of The Hendon Mob).
