All the chips were in preflop and it was bleak days for the player who started Day 4 with a huge chip lead. It is interesting to note that Turk started the day with more chips than the current chip leader, with 13 remaining.
The board ran out , a small straight sweat on the turn coming to no avail as Turk was sent out the door in 14th place.

Nelson went into the tank for a solid minute but than smoothly pushed forward the 230,000 needed for the call.
Speidel turned over , for just a pair of eights, and Nelson showed , for just a pair of jacks. The day is over and Nelson just scooped up a nice pot before bagging his chips.
