Benny 'psychobenny' Spindler Makes London EPT Final Table

Benny ‘psychobenny’ Spindler continued his strong run in the 2011 European Poker Tour London main event and sits in third in chips at the eight person final table to be played on Thursday. Joining Spindler at the high profile final table are American tournament regulars Stephen O'Dwyer and Kevin Iacofano, along with chip leader 26-year-old Brit Martins Adeniya and Swede Mattias Bergstrom.

The £5,000 buy-in main event drew 691 players creating a £3,351,350 prizepool. The winner will take home £750,000 winner.

Viktor “Isildur1” Blom's older brother Sebastian made his first cash in an EPT event after 10 or so tries finishing in 24th for £19,000. Also falling short of the final table were Per Hildebrand (24th), Joao Barbosa (17th) and James Mitchell (11th).
