European Poker Tour Copenhagen: 24 Players Remain Going into Day 4
The 2011 PokerStars European Poker Tour Copenhagen main event is another day closer to naming its champion. Day 3 brought back 73 players, but when the chips were bagged for the night there were only 24 left in contention for the top prize of DK 3.7 million (€496,271).
Sweden’s Per Linde finished the day as the tournament chip leader, holding 1,622,000 in chips. Sitting comfortably in second place is Team PokerStars Pro Florian Langmann with 1,304,000. Swedes Joel Nordkvist and Michael Tureniec are also ranked in the top four in chips. Veterans Surinder Sunar (149,000) and Juha Helppi (142,000) are still hanging on with the shortest stacks.
