Day 4 Awaits
Welcome back to PokerNews' live coverage of the 2011 North American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun Main Event. Only 24 players remain from the starting field of 387, all looking to make it through to the final table. On top of the counts is, who else, last year's winner here Vanessa Selbst. She commands a stack of 1,406,000, nearly 40 big blinds more than her nearest competitor.
While Selbst is currently the favorite with the big stack, there are plenty of familiar names looking to get in the way of her back-to-back plans. Jacobo Fernandez, Adam Geyer, Steve O'Dwyer, Joe Tehan, Eric Froehlich, and Tyler Kenney (younger brother of Bryn) are all in the top ten chip counts and will no doubt be looking to position themselves for a championship run.
Here are the table and seat assignments for Day 4.

Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
We had to push the starting time back a few minutes because Aaron Overton came to the party without his ID. He's retrieved it from his room, the dealer says he's him, and the cards have gone flying here on Day 4.
There are 48 minutes left in Level 19.
Chop it Up
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Froehlich opened the button to 22,000, and Taylor von Kriegenbergh defended his big blind to see a flop.
It came 
, and both men checked to the 
turn. Von Kriegenbergh led out with 25,000 chips now, and Froehlich bumped it up to 100,000. Von Kriegenbergh's response was an all-in shove, and Froehlich made the call with the covering stack.
Showdown
Froehlich: 
Von Kriegenbergh: 
Chop it up, boys. The river 
was meaningless, and everyone gets their money back.
Gibbons Gets His Card
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jonathan Schroer opened to 22,000 from middle position, and Joseph Gibbons flatted on the button. From the small blind, Jacobo Fernandez raised to 87,000, Schroer folded, and Gibbons flatted again, committing more than half his stack to the pot preflop.
The dealer burned and spread 
. Fernandez shoved, and Gibbons called off his last 80,000 to put himself at risk. He was well ahead, though, turning up 
for the set against Fernandez's 
.
The turn secured Gibbon's double, and he's back up to about 385,000 now. Fernandez could afford to donate that double, and he's still got 645,000 chips to work with.
Busquet's Cold Four
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jean-Philippe Matte raised to 21,000 to open the pot in early position, and he was three-bet to 56,000 by Nenad Medic. Action came to big blind Olivier Busquet, and he took a long pause before cold four-betting to 100,000 straight. Both Matte and Medic released their hands eventually, and Busquet climbs his way up to 435,000 with that preflop pot.
Jonathan Schroer Eliminated in 24th Place ($12,000)
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Kyle Loman raised to 21,000 from middle position, and Jonathan Schroer three-bet shoved for his last 209,000. Next door to him, Dan Shak stuck in a cold four-bet of his own, reraising all in over the top of Schroer. That was enough to get Loman out of the way, and the two men went to showdown with Schroer's tournament life hanging in the balance.
Showdown
Schroer: 
Shak:
Schroer could not find an out as the board ran down 
. It's been another impressive run for the amateur from North Carolina, and he's got another cash to report to his ever-growing résumé. This one's good for $12,000.
Eric Froehlich Eliminated in 23rd Place ($12,000)
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
From the cutoff seat, Vanessa Selbst raised to 22,000, and Eric Froehlich was the lone caller, coming along from the big blind to a heads-up flop.
It came 
and Froehlich check-called a bet of 33,000. On the 
turn, Selbst fired another 62,000, but this time Froehlich check-raised all in for about 320,000 total. Selbst snap-called and Froehlich was in a bad spot.
Showdown
Froehlich: 
Selbst: 
Selbst's set had Froehlich drawing dead to his open-ender, but the dealer would not give him any help. The 
river was a blank, and Froehlich is out as the second casualty of this fourth day.
Selbst's charge toward a remarkable repeat title presses on; she's closing in on 2 million chps with a quickness.
Tehan Gets Geyer
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Adam Geyer was the preflop raiser under the gun, and Joe Tehan called from the button to go heads up.
The flop brought 
, and Geyer led out with 42,000 chips. Tehan clicked it back to 84,000, and Geyer made the call. Both players check-checked the turn, and the river drew another leading bet from Geyer, 105,000 this time. Tehan made the call with 105 yellow chips, and Geyer tabled . It was no good; Tehan flipped up 
to take the pot with two pair.
Tehan - 680,000
Geyer - 575,000
