It took less than 6 hours of play before Day 4 of EPT San Remo came to an end. The final three tables are now set, and there are 24 players left in the tournament. Allan Baekke, EPT Snowfest winner, played fantastic poker during day 4 and he's now in a big lead with 3,483,000 chips. In second and third place are Dermot Blain (2,568,000) and Dmitry Stelmak (2,284,000). Yesterday, we were writing that many swedes had been doing extremely well in the tournament.

Well, they are still doing well, even though neither of them are in the very top anymore. Anyhow, 4 of 5 who started the day still have a good chance of making it to tomorrow's final table. However, I really doubt that anyone of them will win the tournament if the top 3 players (Allan Baekke, Dermot Blain, Dmitry Stelmak) at the moment continue playing this well. I think one of them will take down the tournament.

As expected, the main event of EPT San Remo attracted a lot of players this time as well. Not less than 1240 signed up for the tournament and created a massive prize pool of €6,014,000. After 3 days of play, 64 players have survived and will return today to play Day 4 of the tournament. Among these 64 players we find EPT Snowfest champ Allan Bække, Joe Serock, PCA champ Harrison Gimbel and a few other notable players.

Many Swedish players have been doing extremely well in the tournament so far. Not less than 5 swedes still have the chance of reaching the final table. In fact, all of them are in the top of the field, and I would be really surprised if not at least 1-2 of them make it to the final table. 

1. Jakob Karlsson, 1 800 000
5. Jens Thorson, 1 300 000
6. Per Albin Linde, 1 193 000
9. Alexander Roumeliotis, 887 000
12. Erik Tamm, 840 000
