[user38449]

Bonjour, garçons et filles! We're back at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort for Day 4 of the PokerStars.com EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, where things are starting to get interesting. Day 3 brought the demise of 85 more players, 44 of whom walked away with no money. The other
41 scored paydays ranging from $27,000 - $60,000, which means that the 39 remaining players are guaranteed to take home at least $60K.

Professional poker player and former magician Antonio Esfandiari turned 121,400 chips into well over 1.1 million yesterday and enters Day 4 leading his closest opponent (Robin Keston of the UK) by almost 300,000. Fellow pros Johnny Lodden and Henrik Gwinner join Esfandiari and Keston in the top ten to start the day, with 623,000 and 487,000 respectively.

Play resumes this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. local time (7:00 a.m. EST) and will continue until a final table is decided. Check back then for more live updates, chip counts, photos and videos direct from the tournament floor.
