PHOTO: POKERSTARS

Swedish poker star Anton Wigg is the overnight chip leader as we're through two days at Pokerstars.com EPT Berlin. Wigg (2012 PTPR Rank: 255th) already has two PTPR Scores for 2012. After scoring at a Aussie Millions side event earlier in the season, Wigg - the 2010 EPT Copenhagen Champion - finished 11th over the weekend at WPT Vienna.

Vladimir Geshkenbein continues to rule Berlin. Geshkenbein (2012 PTPR Rank: NA) was moments away from leading wire to wire until Wigg stepped in late. Geshkenbein has been rolling so far in this tournament.

A monster field of 745 players entered EPT Berlin, with 102 of those coming back for Thursday play.
