EPT LONDON: BERGSTROM TAKES TINY LEAD INTO DAY 5

We have a new leader at the top at EPT London ... but that man barely has enough chips to consider himself the ultimate chip leader. Mattias Bergstrom is our chip leader heading into Wednesday's play, however, Adria Balaguer trails Bergstrom by less than a big blind.

You can even add German Pascal Hartmann to the list - he is less than an orbit of blinds and antes away from controlling EPT London.

Day 2 and Day 3 chip leaders Benny Spindler and James Mitchell are right there in the thick of things as well, both appear in the top six. Spindler had an off day on Monday but picked up the pace today while Mitchell quietly added to his chip stack.

Joao Barbosa sure had an eventful Day 4. The 2010 EPT San Remo Side Event winner started the day way near the bottom of the chip totals ... but, just a few hours into Day 4, Barbosa was back in the hunt, and sits 12th out of the final 24 players.

NOTABLE CHIP COUNTS:
Mattias Bergstrom 1838000
