Day 4 Done, Dusted
As if to echo how incredibly serious things are getting inside the casino, it has just now started to bucket down outside. Perhaps the inclement weather will persuade our final eight to stay in and get an early night before they come back at noon to battle it out.
Local boy (actually thoroughly grown man, but that doesn't have such a nice ring to it) Antonio Matias remains our gigantic chip leader, as he has been since knocking out overnight chip daddy Antony Lellouche early in the day. Jeff Sarwer is hot on his heels, though, as is Pierre Neuville who missed his flight home to play on, and Ryan Franklin who recovered admirably from a near-fatal crippling a few hours back.
This is what we'll be dealing with tomorrow:
1) Ryan Franklin - 1,047,000
2) Jan Skampa - 926,000
3) Jeff Sarwer - 1,983,000
4) Antonio Matias - 3,003,000
5) Andrei Vlasenko - 371,000
6) Joao Silva - 780,000
7) Michel Abecassis - 488,000
8) Pierre Neuville - 1,027,000
Exciting stuff. Join us back here at Pokernews.com tomorrow from noon W.E.T. for all the action, live from the floor.
