May the Day 4 Be With You

Good morning and welcome back to the Radisson Blu Scandinavia, where our final 24 are about to set off down the road to the serious money.

Yesterday we lost a plethora of big names including Johnny Lodden, JP Kelly and Martin Jacobson. However, as we head to the business end of the tournament, you might recognise more than a few of the field.

Chip leader Per Linde is a familiar face on the EPT circuit - his best performance until now was 13th place at San Remo last year. Just behind him is the last Team PokerStars Pro standing, Florian Langmann. The friendly German now represents possibly the most talkative player in this unusually subdued and polite field. Joel Nordkvist is still going strong in third place, and Day 3 chip leader Michael Tureniec is just behind him in fourth place. By a curious twist of fate, our top five stacks will all be at the same table at the start of the day, so we could well see a possible tournament-crushing monster stack emerge during the first few levels.

Also still in with a shot, albeit on more modest chips, are John Eames, Surinder Sunar, and Juha Helppi bringing up the rear. Play resumes at noon, in around half an hour. Stay glued to your screens.
