EPT FINAL TABLE SET - HELPPI BATTLES BACK AT EPT COPENHAGEN


PHOTO CREDIT: POKERSTARSBLOG.com

Per Linde (pictured) has taken control of EPT Copenhagen. He had the chip lead going into today's session and he still owns the chip lead going into Final Table play.

And it's a very impressive chip lead. The lead is over 2:1 on second place Kevin Iacofano.

Even more impressive? How about the day Juha Helppi had? The former WPT and EPT High Roller champ built an impressive chip stack during today's play. In fact, he grew his stack 10 times from where he started on Friday. Helppi was last in chips and now, he sits 4th with a 1+ million chip stack.

Final table play should be exciting with the likes of Michael Tureniec and John Eames joining Linde and Helppi and the rest of the Final 8.

24 REMAIN AT EPT COPENHAGEN, SWEDE LINDE LEADS


PHOTO CREDIT: POKERSTARSBLOG.com

We are down to three tables at EPT Copenhagen.

Sweden's Per Linde, who's been hovering around the chip lead since the start of this tournament, now holds the official chip lead heading into Day 4 at Casino Copenhagen.

Linde had two PTPR Scores during the 2010 season - both in Premier Events ... he scored both at EPT San Remo and at WPT Rendez-Vous a Paris.

Friday's start is certainly going to be an interesteing one as the Top 5 chip leaders - the only five holding over 1 million in chips - will start the day at the same table (after the random table redraw to determine where the final 24 would sit). There will either be blood on the table early or, these five will slow down play until a few runners exit the poker room.

For the Day 4 seat draw, please visit the end of this post.

Here are the notable still remaining in the tournament:
  • Per Linde 1,622,000
  • Florian Langmann 1,304,000
  • Michael Tureniec 1,089,000
  • John Eames 570,000
  • Dmitry Vitkind 244,000
  • Mikhail Lakhitov 155,000
  • Surinder Sunar 149,000
  • Juha Helppi 142,000

EPT BARCELONA PRELIM WINNER TURENIEC LEADS EPT COPENHAGEN MAIN


PHOTO CREDIT: POKERSTARSBLOG.com

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
