Eighty-Eight Remain for Four-Handed Play
Yesterday 750 players ponied up $2,500 in an attempt to become the first ever World Series of Poker Four-Max champion. Today only 88 remain in the hunt. Leading the way is Steven Weiss with 171,000 in chips.
Having already made one final table this year in Event 9: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry, Brian Rast is looking for yet another deep run. Rast is currently sitting on the second largest stack in the room with 168,000. Rounding out the top three is Tony Dunst who finished Day 1 with 162,800.
Day 1 play saw a slew of notable players vie for the chance of winning the first ever four-handed WSOP bracelet. That being said, a wide majority of the field was sent home yesterday, their hopes of attaining that ever-elusive bracelet dashed. Among those to hit the rail during Day 1 were Sean Getzwiller, Barry Greenstein, Eugene Katchalov, Matt Jarvis, Viktor Blom, JP Kelly, and Bertrand Grospellier.
While a majority of the field made a walk to the exit before the day's conclusion, other notable names were able to best their competition and make play on Day 2. Gavin Smith, Humberto Brenes, Joe Tehan, David Singer, Isaac Haxton, and Annette Obrestad are just some of the names who are still in the hunt.
We're mere moments from cards hitting the air here in the Amazon room and only six eliminations away from the money. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the latest updates as we inch closer to one player making WSOP history.

We have found what appears to be the first elimination of the day over at Table 418. We caught up with the action to see Tony Dunst call a fair-sized three-bet preflop from Behnam Patros. Patros was left with only about 12,000 behind going to the flop.
A board of
