It's bubble time: 28 players remain, 27 get paid. The next one out has worked for two days for no reward. It's not all fun on the European Poker Tour, although don't tell that to the railbirds who have flocked like vultures to pick the remaining flesh from the imminent sacrifice to the Gods of poker.

Casino Copenhagen awaits the bubble's bursting

Of those remaining, these are the familiar (at least to me) names:

Shek Hung Chi
Hans Askilsson
Anders Berg
Peter Davidsen
Morten Jensen
Edgar Skervold
Anina Gundesen (PokerStars qualifier)
Thomas Grundy (PokerStars qualifier)
Mads Anderson
Marc Naarland
Ram Vaswani
Julian Thew
Jesper Stolpe
Karin Lundgren
Marcus Gonsalves (PokerStars qualifier)
Philip Hilm
Christer Johansson
Luca Pagano
Adam Nilson (PokerStars qualifier)
Xuyen Pham
Noah Boeken

The more observant among you will notice that the above list does not number 28. There are still a few whose faces don't fit any name, but as the field thins further, we will be able to bring you more accurate chip counts. I think Christer Johansson, former WPT champion, is the current chip leader. He's running all over the featured table at the moment and has a stack that is impossible to count accurately.
