EPT London Main Event and High Roller Recap

EPT London Finale Draws Nearer

EPT London’s official Day 4 came to a conclusion yesterday and when the dust had settle and the chips were counted it was Steve O’Dwyer’s stack the stood the proudest.

Having started the day within sight of former chip leader Pasi Sormunen, O’Dwyer eventually reeled in his target before surpassing him with a series of well-timed pots towards to finish the day with 2,279,000.

While Sormunen lost his place at the top of the chip chart, he didn’t fall too far from grace. Indeed, by the close of the session he found himself fourth in the rankings with 1,834,000 chips, just ahead of Niall Farrell (1,581,000) and Theo Jorgensen (1,474,000).

With only 15 players eligible to return for Day 5, today’s race to a final table of eight is likely to be a swift one. Indeed, at the time of writing the previously strong Sormunen had already hit the rail in 15^th place (£20,000) courtesy of Chris Moorman.

EPT Ballas Roll Deep

When a player’s Main Event dreams fall by the wayside and there’s nothing left for the wealthy grinder to focus on, the last bastion of hope is often a High Roller tournament. Yesterday a host of well-known pros exercised their option to play in EPT London’s £10,000 re-entry event.

Throughout the course of the day the organisers collected 127 bundles of cash and by the end of the day 75 players still had some chips in front of them.

Leading the charge at the close of Day 1 was the man in the form of his life, Paul Volpe. Having made back-to-back WPT final tables already this month, Volpe was finished the day comfortably ahead of such luminaries as Vicky Coren, Davidi Kitai and Scott Seiver.

Today’s second session has already seen more than ten players hit the rail as the final few now look towards the top prize of £436,330.
