After Martin Kozlov opened for 32,000 and Georgios Karakousis called, Kent Roed three-bet to 86,000 from the big blind. Kozlov gave it up, Karakousis opted to call, and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. Roed checked, Karakousis bet 225,000, and Roed responded with a check-raised to 525,000. Karakousis then snap-shoved for 827,000 total and Roed called just as quickly.
Roed: 
Karakousis: 
Much to Roed's surprise, Karakousis had flopped the flush. That meant Roed needed a diamond that wasn't the 
to eliminate his opponent. With nearly two million on the line, the dealer burned and put out the 
on the turn. Karakousis sat stone-faced and watched as one more card was burned and the 
completed the board on the river. Karakousis' hand held to give him a massive double while Roed was left with just 140,000 after the hand.

It took some doing, but the two-table bubble has finally burst to bring an end to Day 4.
It happened when Stefan Vagner opened for 32,000 from the under-the-gun position and action folded to Candido Goncalves on the button. He announced that he was all in for approximately 360,000, and after the blinds folded, Vagner made the call.
Vagner:
Goncalves:
The flop gave both players a pair of aces, but Vagner's kicker made him the overwhelming favorite. Goncalves was looking for some lady love, but he would get none as the appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
The final 16 players are now bagging and tagging for the night. We'll have official chip counts and the new seat draw for you momentarily. We'll also have a full recap of the Day 4 action, so be sure to stay tuned for that.
