24 REMAIN AT EPT COPENHAGEN, SWEDE LINDE LEADS

PHOTO CREDIT: POKERSTARSBLOG.com

We are down to three tables at EPT Copenhagen.

Sweden's Per Linde, who's been hovering around the chip lead since the start of this tournament, now holds the official chip lead heading into Day 4 at Casino Copenhagen.

Linde had two PTPR Scores during the 2010 season - both in Premier Events ... he scored both at EPT San Remo and at WPT Rendez-Vous a Paris.

Friday's start is certainly going to be an interesteing one as the Top 5 chip leaders - the only five holding over 1 million in chips - will start the day at the same table (after the random table redraw to determine where the final 24 would sit). There will either be blood on the table early or, these five will slow down play until a few runners exit the poker room.

Here are the notable still remaining in the tournament:

• Per Linde 1,622,000
• Florian Langmann 1,304,000
• Michael Tureniec 1,089,000
• John Eames 570,000
• Dmitry Vitkind 244,000
• Mikhail Lakhitov 155,000
