Just 43 Players Remain On Day 4 of the $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event
Day 4 of the $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event at the 2017 Caribbean Poker Party Festival is set to kick off at 12:00 P.M. local time. There will be just 43 players returning to the felt, all in search of reaching the final table and claiming the first-place prize of $1,000,000.
Leading the way is English poker pro, Michael Zhang, who is looking for his largest cash of his career here at the Melia Caribe Tropical resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. He will come into the day with 83,100,000 chips after having an incredible Day 3. Zhang steadily built up a stack throughout the day, playing some aggressive but sound poker. On the other hand, partypoker's Jason Koon, who is not far behind with 71,975,000, played a couple monstrous pots in order to work his way to the top of the leaderboard. Preben Stokkan, the winner of the $10,300 MILLIONS High Roller, has found himself in the top five as well, winding up with 47,800,000.
Other players to keep an eye on today include partypoker Chairman, Mike Sexton (29,825,000), Troy Quenneville (23,450,000) who always performs well in the Carribean, Ismael Bojang (19,950,000), and Maria Ho (11,850,000).
When the action gets underway, the blinds will continue at 250,000/500,000 with a 500,000 button ante. The levels will be 75-minutes in length with a 20-minute break after every two levels. The current schedule is to play a full seven levels or until a final table is reached, but that will be updated throughout the day. Everyone remaining is guaranteed to take home at least $25,000 but the end goal will to be the one raising the trophy at the end of the day tomorrow.
