End of Day 4
Wow, now that was a quick finish to a fast-moving day.
We came back with 24 players led by Chilean Nicolas Yunis but the chip leader suffered a disastrous day and his stack only went downwards on the feature table. Brit Rupert Elder jumped into the lead early on when he won a huge pot with aces against Nicola Grieco's ace king to go over the three million mark. From then on Elder never looked back as he gradually chipped on a table of short stacks.
Team PokerStars Pro Joe Cada would briefly overtake Elder as chip leader but the Brit picked off a big bluff from the American to regain the lead. With two tables left, both Joe Cada and EPT Berlin runner-up Max Heinzelmann both got moved to the feature table and it was the German who began to put the rest of the players to the sword. Heinzelmann gradually chipped up to about 8 million including busting former World Champion Cada with jacks vs , fading a flush draw.
Meanwhile on the outer table, Elder was doing much the same and dominated the table as no other player had above an average stack, being forced to play the waiting game. Heinzelmann and Elder are virtually level in chips going to tomorrow's final table and have been seated next to each other which will help to provide an interesting dynamic to the table.
We'll be starting once again at 12pm (CET) and remember the final will be shown on EPT Live.
See you then!
