EPT SAN REMO: NEILSON RISES, STARS FALL AS FINAL TABLE IS SET

EPT San Remo has finally reached final table play and it what had the makings of a all-star final table field earlier on Wednesday ended with nothing of the sort as most big names fell during Day 5 play.

Now this isn't to say that we're not in for a treat, we're left with 8 players, all capable of playing some fine poker. Despite the star exodus, there are still a few well known players left in the field.

Daniel Neilson, who was second in chips the past two days, finds himself in the driver's seat with close to a 2:1 chip lead on second place. Barny Boatman hopes to make his fellow Hendom Mob members proud with a big win on Thursday.

But most eyes will be on Kevin MacPhee as he attempts to become the first person to win ever win a EPT Main Event for the second time. MacPhee won EPT Berlin in March of 2010.
