Day 4 Started
Welcome back for Day 4 of Event #29: $5,000 H.O.R.S.E. An extra day has been added to the schedule to complete this event, and just four players remain. Topping the crew coming back is Tom Schneider, and he's looking for his second H.O.R.S.E. bracelet in a week's time.
While Schneider holds a massive chip lead with four left, he's still got to deal with Viatcheslav Ortynskiy, Benjamin Scholl and Greg Mueller, who stand in his way. Schneider has 2.5 million in chips, while Ortynskiy and Scholl have 680,000 and 600,000, respectively, then Mueller is very short with 140,000.
Each of the remaining quartet have locked up $94,664, but it's the $318,955 and the gold bracelet that they'll all be gunning for. Stay tuned for PokerNews' coverage straight from the final table, with the cards in the air at 2 p.m. local time.
