Day 4: Getting Paid

All 24 remaining players are in the money after the bubble burst last night with the elimination of Domantas Klimciauskas. With everyone guaranteed 28,620 PLN, Day 4 will resume play at 12:30pm local time.

Jeff Sarwer will enter as the chip leader, but there's still plenty of work to be done. Antony Lellouche, Shaun Deeb, Vitaly Lunkin, and Team PokerStars PRO Luca Pagano are all still left in the field as well. With only three, eight-handed tables in play, it'll be interesting to see which of these big names are joined at the same table to start the day. Once we receive the seat draw from the tournament staff, it will be posted. Peter Hedlund will have some work to do, as he comes in on a short stack.

Here's what everyone will come into the day with:

Jeffrey Sarwer - 956,500
Clayton Mozdzen - 574,000 (PokerStars qualifier)
Alexander Debus - 479,500 (PokerStars qualifier)
Anatoly Gurtovov - 425,000

Deeb Doubles Back

Antony Lellouche raised to 16,000 and then Shaun Deeb stuck in his last 58,000. Lellouche made the call, tabling {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}. Deeb held a better ace with {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}, keeping Deeb ahead.

The turn brought the {A-Clubs}, pairing both players' ace, with Deeb's kicker still giving him the best hand.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}, securing the win for Deeb and doubled him back up to 130,000 chips.

Pagano Chasing ElkY

Team PokerStars PRO Luca Pagano may have a little extra incentive today to do well. He currently sits second on the EPT's tournament leaderboard behind Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. Pagano has 3,067 points and ElkY has 3,354 points. Calculating things out using the leaderboard formula, Pagano will need a sixth-place finish or better to move past ElkY.

Can he do it? The early double up will surely help. Stick around and find out if he can!
