The 730 person starting field of the PokerStars European Poker Tour London main event is now down to only three tables, the contents of which still include quite a few notable pros.

Some of the pros currently fighting for the more than $1.3 million top prize include WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate, WSOP Europe Main Event champion Annette Obrestad as well as Theo Tran, Ivo Donev and Vivek "FLOG" Rajkumar.

Yesterday's most recent sacrifices to the fickle Gods of chance include J.C. Tran, Surinder Sunar, Ross Boatman, Eugene Katchalov, John Juanda, Jeff Lisandro and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.

With only 24 players remaining and the plan for today being to play down to the final table, the action at the 2009 EPT London is approaching top intensity, and has already begun.  For updates and photos from today's Day 4, check out the PokerStars blog (www.pokerstarsblog.com).
