Last Chance Saloon
It's the penultimate day here at the main event in London's Hilton hotel on the Edgeware Road. Where there was once 848 players, now remains just 24 players who are each guaranteed £21,000 for surviving this far. The pay jumps are starting to get steeper though with £900,000 (over $1.4 million) for the winner and the PokerStars.com EPT London 2010 title.
Chance Kornuth, who won the $5,000 PLO event at the WSOP this summer, is the chip leader going into today's proceedings, with 2,302,000, over half a million more in chips than his nearest rival Per Ummer. The field remains heavily stacked though, WSOPE and four-time bracelet winner John Juanda is still in the mix, as is the former Main Event champion Joe Hachem. With his bracelet and WPT win, Hachem has his eyes on becoming only the third player to complete the "Triple Crown" by adding an EPT victory to his belt.
Other players still in the tournament include WPT Cyprus title-holder Thomas Bichon, IPT champion Matt Perrins and UKIPT Brighton winner Jamie Burland.
We'll be playing down to our final table of eight players (though the unofficial final table will be nine-handed first) and Pokernews will be here with all the action from the first riffle to the last river!
Play begins in roughly 15 minutes.

A Work of Artur is a Confession
Artur Wasek opened preflop to 47,000 in middle position before chip leader Chance Kornuth reraised in position to 106,000. Wasek wasted little time in making the call to see an 
flop which was checked to Kornuth.
He bet a measly 38,000 before the Pole quickly grabbed a handful of blue 10k chips and threw out a check-raise to 130,000. Kornuth careful put in the call to see a 
turn.
Wasek now bet 210,000 and it looked for all intents and purposes as though Kornuth was going to make the call, but like a clown in a box he surprised us, by raising to 498,000. Wasek gave the raise some brief contemplation but then decided discretion was the better part of valour in this case.
Kornuth moves up to 2.75 million while Wasek drops to 1.1 million.
Jamie Burland Eliminated in 24th Place (£21,000)
We have our first casualty of Day 4 and it the young British player Jamie Burland. We didn't capture the exact chip counts but Per Ummer opened under the gun and it was folded around to Jamie Burland who was having a massage on the button. His relaxed state did not stop him from making the call and we had a flop. 
hit the flop and the gum chewing Per made a bet of around 100,000. Jamie made a three-bet and Per immediately announced all-in. Jamie called.
Burland: 
Ummer: 
Jamie was ahead with his pair and open ended straight draw but this was to change on the turn when the 
gave Per the lead. The 
on the river didn't change things and Jamie headed for the exit.
Big Stacks Get Bigger
Some chip leader five-bet curiousness as John O'Shea opened for 42,000 in mid position and picked up a call from EPT Berlin finalist Artur Wasek on the button. But in the big blind, chip daddy Chance Kornuth reraised to 178,000.
O'Shea tanked up for a good long while, before four-betting another 250,000. Wasek decided it wasn't worth it and folded, but back to Kornuth, and following a brief moment, he five-bet all in.
O'Shea paused for only a few seconds before throwing his hand away.
O'Shea dropped to around 925,000. Kornuth's vast pyramid of chips now appears to be over 3 million.

Technical Difficulties
We apologise for the recent lack of posts, the internet and power for the entire media corridor has gone down temporarily and we're now working on some ropey internet.
Man Pays Nulli
Robert Nulli in the big blind called a preflop raise from Kayvan Payman, and check-called bets on the 
flop and turn before shoving the 
river. Payman folded and dropped to 83,000 or so; Nulli upped his small stack to around 675,000.
