Goulder Leads Last 45 on Day 4 of the Main Event
Just 45 players remain in the 2016 PokerStars EPT Season 12 Dublin Main Event and it's British pro Alex Goulder in the lead. The WPT National champion is the only player with a stack of over a million, his closest competitor is Frank Williams who bagged 881,000 last night.
The first level to be played is 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante. Adrian Allain, the short stack going into the day today, starts with just 8 big blinds. PCA champion Dominik Panka is to starts with 9 big blinds and will be looking for a double up sooner rather than later.
Day 4 starts at noon (in about an hour) and the goal is to play down to 16, or till the end of level 24, whichever comes first. Levels will again be 90 minutes long, with a 20-minute break after each level. There won't be a dinner break for the players, play should halt around 8:45 pm.
There will be plenty of action in the Main Event today, of that one can be sure, but there will be another big tournament going on at the same time. At 12:30 the €10,200 3-day High Roller starts, and PokerNews.com will be on sight for coverage of that event as well. So sit back, fire up the stream, and get your F5 finger ready to refresh our live coverage pages as many times as you like.
