EPT BARCELONA PRELIM WINNER TURENIEC LEADS EPT COPENHAGEN MAIN

2010 EPT Barcelona Prelim event winner Michael Tureniec carries the chip lead into Day 3 at EPT Copenhagen.

Tureniec won Event 9 - No Limit Hold'em at Hotel Arts Barcelona in November.

The UK's JP Kelly is also heating up and at the right time, he now sits 4th in chips. Meanwhile EPT Barcelona winner Kent Lundmark, Per Linde and Martin Jacobson lead a strong group of Swedes still alive in the tournament.

On the flip side, the Comeback Kid's comeback, well, fell short. Peter Eastgate, returning from retirement this week, was unable to make it past Day 2. The mighty hot Turniec made sure of that. We should see Eastgate next at the NBC Heads Up Championship in Las Vegas.

The money buble is about to burst in Copenhagen, only 9 of the 74 returning players won't see a paycheck day on Thursday.

Here are the notable names still alive after Day 2:
  • Michael Tureniec 640,000
  • Per Linde 514,000
  • JP Kelly 416,000
  • Kent Lundmark 286,200
  • Florian Langmann 271,900
  • Martin Jacobson 258,900
  • Domantas Klimciauskas 212,200
  • Johnny Lodden 193,700
  • Dmitry Vitkind 188,000
  • Mikhail Lakhitov 179,700
  • Juha Helppi 159,000
  • Surinder Sunar 151,700
  • John Eames 118,600
  • Pierre Neuville 80,900
