EPT Copenhagen Day 3: Weisner Leads; Tureniec, Iacofano, Khan & Helppi Still In The Hunt
Hello poker world and welcome to Day 3 of the European Poker Tour stop in Copenhagen. We have 72 of the original 299 players remaining, and online heads up specialist, Melanie Weisner is sitting pretty at the top of the chip counts with 368,200 of those round plastic things.
We introduced Day 1 by talking about the big three from last year: Michael Tureniec, Per Linde and John Eames. Linde and Eames have done an Elvis Presley, but our reigning champion Tureniec is in a great position to become our first ever double EPT Champion sitting towards the top end of the counts with 214,500. He may no longer have Linde and Eames for company, but he does have Season 7 EPT Copenhagen final tablists Kevin Iacofano (finished in 4th place), Mudassar Khan (finished in 6th place) and Juha Helppi (finished in 8th place). All three of those players have impressive chip stacks and could easily mount an assault on back-to-back EPT Copenhagen final tables.
The action starts at 12.00 (CET) and our plan is to play down to 24 runners so make sure you join us at Pokernews for all the action.
