Chip leader Daniel Nielson.
The final table of the 2011 EPT San Remo Main Event (buy-in €4.900) is now set. Online legend Johnny "bad_ip" Lodden will not play in the final today after he bubbled the final table in 9th place earning €45.000.
According to PokerNews.com, when the day began, Chris McClung had a ton of chips with 3.148 million, but his ultra-aggressive style had him with his foot on the gas all day.
