At the beginning of the week 647 players entered the EPT London, but just 32 of them are left heading into Day 4. On Thursday, they'll be further reduced to 16.
Pasi Sormunen is in first place with 1,578,000 chips, and unfortunately a lot of those chips came from PokerStrategist Manig 'swordfish007' Loeser, who didn't make it through the day himself. Manig's Ace-Ten ran into Sormunen's Pocket Kings on a Ten-Ten-King flop which resulted in a huge pot for Sormunen.
Two well-known players are in the top ten - Lebanese pro and former EPT champion Nicolas Chouity is in 3rd, and Danish Theo Jorgensen (8th) hopes to complete his triple crown in London.
Yesterday's leaders, Mantas Visockis and Matthias Tikerpe, are both still alive but they've dropped to 5th and 18th places respectively.
Beyond the top 10, four other top players still have a chance at an EPT London title: Mike McDonald (11th), Jason Mercier (26th), Chris Moorman (28th), and Annette Obrestad (30th).
