Day 5: From 24 to 8
Welcome back to the 2011 PokerStars.it EPT San Remo. It's Day 5 and the field has been whittled down to just 24 players. The man with the most chips amongst the final three tables is Chris McClung. He's got a strangle hold on the competition with 3.148 million in his stack. The next closest player is Daniel Neilson with 2.011 million.
Outside of those two top stacks, we've got plenty of firepower left in this one. Team PokerStars Pro is represented by Lex Veldhuis and Johnny Lodden. Well-known European players Alessio Isaia and Barny Boatman are still in the mix as well.
A few title holders in Kevin MacPhee, Mike Donald and Elio Fox also still remain. MacPhee is a previous winner at EPT Berlin, McDonald won EPT Dortmund and Fox won the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event just last week.
The event is set to kick off shortly at 2:00 PM local time, so be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews as we play down to the final table of eight.
