Jason Tompkins Leads at 2012 EPT Sanremo

At some point today Jason Tompkins may just have felt he was beginning to own this main event (The EPT Sanremo). The Irishman was among the first to break the million mark, then wasted little time turning that into 1.5 million before his stack peaked tonight at 2,423,000.

Tompkins replaced Inge Forsmo at the top, but Forsmo could hardly be said to have had a bad day. The Norwegian knocked out Mauro Mancin before the break, flopping an ace to beat Mancin's jacks before the dinner break, then broke the 2 million mark with chips taken from Francesco Lorenzini who he would later knock out. If you want to predict how many he'll finish with tomorrow try around four million, for he has just about doubled his stack every day since Day 2.

Here's how the rest of the stacks will line up:

Inge Forsmo - 2,025,000 
Ludovic Lacay - 1,731,000 
Negjdet Avdylaj - 1,702,000
