Chile Running Hot Going into Day 5

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Nicolas Yunis
Nicolas Yunis

With 60 players returning today, it was always going to be a short day, but we have outdone ourselves here - we're out before sundown.

Leading our final 24 into the penultimate day is Norwegian resident and sole Chilean national remaining in the field Nicolas Yunis. Yunis came back today in joint second place and soon took the lead when overnight chip leader Roberto Spada lost a chunk of his chips to Rupert Elder, and then lost some more doubling up Luca Cavecchi.

A little behind Yunis are young Brits Rupert Elder and Andrew Teng; fellow countryman Kamal Choraria is somewhat behind them towards the bottom of the chip counts. It's been a fantastic year for Britain at the EPT, and we could yet see our fourth British winner this season.

Also still in with decent shots at the title, although somewhat reduced from their earlier big stacks and now only slightly above average, are Team PokerStars Pros Max Lykov and Joe Cada. Below average, but still in an excellent position to make his second consecutive EPT final table, is 20 year old EPT Berlin runner up Max Heinzelmann.

We'll be back at noon to play down to a final table. Until then, we and all the remaining runners are heading out into the still sunny San Remo evening to fuel ourselves for a big Day 5. Get some rest. It's going to be good.
