After 3 days of play at the WPT Copenhagen, the 229-player field is down to just 2 tables. The remaining players are already in the money, but they won't be satisfied without taking home the $229,938 first-place prize.The top stacks still left in the WPT Copenhagen are fairly close to each other; no single player has dominated the field

Things are now different in the top of the rank, but there's still a lot to play. I see that many players have similar number of chips and, with the blinds rising, things turn more difficult, looks like there are many players who still haven't started playing more loose aggressive, but now they will have to. I had big hopes on Steve O'Dwyer, but things aren't running very well...
