Welcome Back to Day 4 of the European Poker Tour Season 10 Barcelona Main Event
Welcome back to the European Poker Tour Season 10 Barcelona Main Event. What started with 1,234 players is down to the final 79, each looking to push deeper into the money and ideally secure a spot at the second largest EPT Main Event ever held on European soil. The man best positioned to do just that is the chip leader, 26-year-old Tom Middleton from Leeds, UK, known as Middy to his friends and “hitthehole” online . He already has live tournament winnings totaling nearly $1 million and will add to that today.
While Middleton is the only player over a million in chips, there are quite a few players nipping at his heels including Kevin Vandersmissen (970,000), Niall Farrell (912,000), Thomas Butzhammer (827,000) and Andreas Christoforou (825,000). Others returning for Day 4 action are Kimmo Kurko (581,000), Team PokerStars Pro Christophe De Meulder (334,000), Kent Lundmark (Season 7 Barcelona champion), Dimitar Danchev (Season 9 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure champion), and Mikalai Pobal (Season 9 Barcelona champion), making it possible that we could see the first-ever two-time EPT Main Event champion.
Lundmark will bring a stack of 501,000 into Day 4 while Danchev will be at 376,000 in chips. Defending champion Pobal, however, has quite the uphill battle on Day 4 as he will return with merely 71,000 in chips.
Action will kick off at noon CET, which is a little less than an hour from now. Join us then as we bring you all the action and eliminations from the tournament floor here at the Casino Barcelona. In the meantime, check out PokerNews' WAG Diaries with newlyweds Vanessa and Miranda Selbst:
