Yesterday the third day of the EPT Berlin main event began with 102 players. The chip leader was EPT Copenhagen winner Anton Wigg with 695k, closely followed by EPT Snowfest winner Vladimir Geshkenbein. Both of them had one hell of a roller coaster ride during Day 3 but still made it through to Day 4 with decent stacks.

The new chip leader is Marc Wright from Cornwall, England. Wright overtook the lead from Wigg and Geshkenbein already during the second level of play, then continued playing well till the tournament director called it a day. Wright will bring 2,4 million chips to the tables today, some 89k ahead of Thomas Cibak, from Czech Republic, in second place.

Another exciting day of poker is now in the books (Day 2). The player field has been narrowed down to 102 and EPT Copenhagen winner Anton Wigg from Sweden is the one with the largest stack. Wigg, who has cashed in many major tournaments since 2007, seemed to be in full control throughout the day as he was winning pot after pot and turned 125k into amazing 695k!

Today, the final table of the EPT Snowfest Main Event in Hinterglemm, Austria, will be played. All the finalists are guaranteed at least €35,000 each, but of course everyone will do everything in their power to lay hands on the first prize of €390,000.

Chip leader is the Belgian Kevin Vandersrmissen with 4,512,000 chips. It will be interesting to see whether or not anyone can stop him with so many chips.

Day 3 of the EPT Snowfest Main Event is now concluded. 24 of 81 players made it through the day and they will return to play day 4 in a few hours. The one who will return with the biggest stack is Giacomo Maisto from Italy. Maisto managed to overtake former leaders such as Vladimir Geshkenbein (889k) and Philp Meulyzer (762k) and now he has 1,548,000 chips.

Team PokerStars pro Alex Kravchenko, from Russia, is the last big name in the felt. However, this doesn't mean that the rest of the tournament will be boring to watch/follow. All the remaining players have been playing extremely well so far, and since they are only hours away from the final table where some serious cash is up for grabs, we can expect them to play even better from now on.

It's high time to take a look at the EPT Snowfest Main Event, which started 2 days ago in Hinterglemm, Austria. Day 1a and 1b have already been played and 268 of 468 players are now waiting for Day 2 to start.

Ever wondered how tough it is to win an EPT Main Event title? Well, for example, 14 former champions were in the Day 1b field - four of them ended up at the same table - Kevin MacPhee, Liv Boeree, Kevin Stani and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (who arrived a few hours late). All but ElkY made it to Day 2 of the tournament.
