End of Day 4

[user76023]

After five arduous days of non-stop pokering our final table has been set!

Chance Kornuth's chip lead imploded early on after he lost a huge pot with {A-} {10-} to Kyle Bowker's {A-} {K-} before giving Bowker the rest of the chips with a measly {J-} {9-} to Bowker's {K-} {K-} .

Former World Champion Joe Hachem was unable to get anything going and eventually was eliminated by the growing stack of John Juanda. Juanda then busted WPT Cyprus champion Thomas Bichon as well, all the money going in on a Queen-high board on the turn, the Frenchman's {Q-} {J-} no good against Juanda's {A-} {Q-} .

Local hopes Matt Perrins and Rumit Somaiya busted soon after and with Steven Levy's {A-} {K-} falling to David Vamplew's {Q-} {Q-} we were soon reduced to one table.

It was a while until we managed to lose one more however, as Per Ummer managed to double with {Q-} {J-} against John Hall's {5-} {5-} . Eventually though, John Hall busted out when his ace-jack ran into Artur Wasek's aces at the end of the day.

The final table is now set and once again we will beginning at 12pm local time.

See you then!

John Hall Eliminated in 9th Place (£45,000)

[user46392]

First hand back, Kyle Bowker raised to 185,000. Everyone folded and he took the blinds and antes.

Second hand and Bowker raised to 185,000 again - but this time our shortest shortie John Hall pushed, and in the big blind, slightly less short shortie Artur Wasek re-shoved. Bowker got out of their way and the cards were on their backs.

Hall: {a-Hearts} {j-Hearts}
Wasek: {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds}

"Ace," said railer Marcin Horecki plaintively.

"Deuce!" cried another. They were both right.

Board: {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {a-Clubs} {q-Clubs} {5-Hearts}

"YES!" cried Wasek. And with that, Day 4 is over.

Break it Down

[user66118]

We've got another level behind us, and we just can't seem to shake anyone now that things have hotted up. The final nine are off for a 15-minute break, hopefully the last one of the night. Back shortly.

Juanda Comes Out On Top In Battle Of The Big Stacks

Matthew Pitt

Juanda looking rather pleased with himself

The two big stacks fo the table, John Juanda and Kyle Bowker, clashed in a blind versus blind situation, with Juanda coming out on top to scoop the 750,000 pot.

The action folded around to Bowker in the small blind who made a raise to 150,000 and Juanda made the call. Both players saw the {J-Clubs} {6-Spades} {J-Spades} flop and Bowker made a continuation bet of 100,000, which Juanda called.

Turn: {5-Diamonds}

Bowker now let his foot off the gas and check called Juanda's bet of 225,000 and when the {3-Spades} fell on the turn, both players gave up and simply checked.

Juanda showed {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and Bowker tossed his cards into the muck.

Tank Tank Tank Fold for Vamplew

[user46392]

David Vamplew raised his now standard minimum 120,000 and Kyle Bowker called in the big blind before checking the {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop and then calling the 145,000 continuation bet from Vamplew.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and this time Bowker bet out 375,000. Vamplew tanked up for a couple minutes before eventually pushing the call across the line.

They arrived at the {a-Spades} river, and this time Bowker pushed out a bet of 1.1 million, before sinking into expressionless inaction.

Then commenced an epic dwell from Vamplew.

He pulled a face, and then for a couple minutes rubbed his hands together, as the cameras zoomed in so close on his face that we thought they might knock his glasses off. Still he tanked.

Four or five minutes passed, and across the table John Juanda yawned. Tom Marchese seemed to have already fallen asleep, and Fernando Brito got up from the table and wandered off. Vamplew pulled another face, but continued to tank.

Kayvan Payman got out his phone and started fiddling with it. Artur Wasek looked around, perhaps wishing that he spoke more English so he could at least have a conversation with someone. Brito came back, only to discover that he couldn't get to his seat because it was now being blocked by a cameraman. Still Vamplew tanked.

And then he folded.

Vamplew - 3.3 million
Bowker - 7.7 million

Right, Okay...

[user76023]

John Juanda opened preflop to 125,000 and Fernando Brito made the call in the small blind. Then Per Ummer, either deliberately or possibly a misclick, made it 250,000 and both players called.

All three checked the {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} flop before it was checked to Juanda on the {4-Spades} turn. He now bet 380,000 eliciting two quick folds and adding over half a million to his stack with very little effort.
