Daniel Chutrov, Arunas Garunkstis and Dmitrijs Meless Lead the Way to Start Day 4
Welcome to Day 4 of the 2018 OlyBet Kings of Tallinn €1,100 Main Event at the Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Park Hotel.
The penultimate day will last until the remaining field of 24 players is trimmed down to nine for the televised final table on Sunday. The day will begin by finishing off Level 19 with blinds at 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante after it was paused midway through to end Day 3. All 24 players are guaranteed at least a payout of €2,430 with everyone having their eyes on the €62,000 top prize.
Heading into the day, Bulgaria's Daniel Chutrov is in the lead with 638,000 in chips closely followed by Lithuania's Arunas Garunkstis with 626,000 and Latvian Team OlyBet Pro Dmitrijs Meless with 623,000.
Rounding out the top five heading into Day 4 are two Finnish players Arto Antero Lehtonen and Juha Helppi, the latter of which is one of Europe's most accomplished players with $7.1 million in live tournament cashes.
A couple of nights ago, Helppi was playing €50/€100 pot-limit Omaha which eventually added two straddles to the game with Patrik Antonius and others. This was the largest game ever to run at Olympic Park Casino.
As was the case since the beginning of the tournament, the PokerNews live reporting team will be back on the floor to provide complete coverage Day 4 and beyond until a winner is declared.
