Stein controlled much of the play for most of the day, at one point crossing the 9,000,000-chip threshold. He came back to the field slightly in the last hour but will still lead the final eight at the start of play tomorrow.

It's enough that the cagey veteran can wait to pick his spot.
That's it for Day 4. Join us tomorrow at 2pm local time to see who will be crowned the first champion of the North American Poker Tour. Until then, you can find us at the bar.

Fuller:
It was a great situation for Fuller as the dominating favorite for a double-up. The board safely blanked out,
to take him to 4.3 million chips. Stein is still quite healthy with roughly 7 million.
