EPT LONDON: SMASHING! MITCHELL LEADS UK CHARGE

PHOTO/SOURCE: POKERSTARSBLOG.com

While Sunday's play at EPT London was mostly a German affair (as Spindler and Rettenmaier dominated the headlines), today's storylines were all about the UK - as the top three chip counts - and five of the top 10 - are all from the United Kingdom - looks like the UK players want to win one for England!

James Mitchell holds one big stack, collecting over 20k more chips than second place Sam MacDonald during Day 3 play. Mitchell, the 2010 Paddypower.com Irish Open Champion, is the only player with a 1+ million dollar chip stack.

Spindler, who held the lead after Sunday's play, fell off the charts a bit on Monday, but, still holds a Top 15 chip stack heading into Tuesday's play.

The money bubble burst during today's play. Andrew Chen, Andrew Feldman, Sebastien Ruthenberg, Toby Lewis and Doyle Brunson highlight the list of those who cashed today, sadly, their tournaments came to an end. A total of 62 players will be making their way back to the Hilton London Metropole tomorrow.
