At Noon today, 58 players will return to the Sochi Casino for Day 4 of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia Main Event after yesterday saw the field reduced from 200, and the money bubble burst.

Gor Kazaryan will come back as the chip leader after he bagged 45,250,000 with Luke Thursfield (41,575,000), Maxim Panyak (37,875,000), Konstantin Uspenskii (35,250,000), Viacheslav Zhukov (30,800,000), and Aleksandr Chernikov (30,500,000) all in the chasing pack.

partypoker ambassador Anatoly Filatov (30,000,000), along with Chin Wei Lim (19,825,000), 2017 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia Main Event finalist Vadim Lipovka (18,075,000), Niall Farrell (14,150,000), Denis Pisarev (11,000,000), Timothy Adams (9,925,000), Artem Metalidi (4,325,000), and Vladimir Troyanovskiy (9,450,000) will also be in action.

Eight more 60-minute levels will be played today or down to the final table of the last eight, whichever of the two comes first, with all those taking a seat aiming to make the final day on Monday, August, 13.

The players will receive 20-minute breaks after every two levels, with the 45-minute dinner break coming at the end of the sixth level at approximately 6:30 pm.

Shot clocks will continue to be used with players given 30-seconds to act on each decision, with each player receiving a limited amount of additional 30-second time bank cards.

As like in previous days, there will be two feature tables streamed on the partypoker Twitch channel from around 12:45 p.m. local time. Further information will be posted once the play is underway.

PokerNews will be bringing you all the action right up until the winner is crowned tomorrow, so be sure to stay tuned!

Troyanovskiy First Out

Level 25 : 175,000/350,000, 300,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy is the first player out on Day 4 after he saw his pocket sevens run into pocket kings.

Dmitriy Agafonov raised from middle position and Troyanovskiy moved all in for around 7,000,000 from the cutoff. When the action folded back around to Agafonov he snap-called.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, which meant there was no help for high-roller Troyanovskiy and his pocket sevens, as Agafonov's kings held.

Rinat Enkov raised to 1,300,000 from middle position and Luke Thursfield three-bet to 3,800,000 in the next seat, which Enkov called after the rest of the table folded.

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}, and both players checked with the turn card the {10-Hearts}. Enkov check-called a 2,700,000 bet from Thursfield before the river was the {q-Spades} and Enkov checked to see Thursfield bet 4,000,000. Enkov thought for about 20 seconds before he made the call.

Thursfield showed {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair, and Enkov mucked, as Thursfield became the first player to cross the 100 million chip mark.

Niall Farrell raised from middle position and saw Luke Thursfield three-bet from the button to 4,000,000, and Farrell called.

The flop came down {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {a-Spades} turn. Farrell led for 5,800,000 and Thursfield called, before the river was revealed to be the {q-Diamonds}. Farrell needed to use a time bank card as he thought before he bet 13,000,000.

Thursfield called without much hesitation, but when Farrell flipped over {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a full house, Thursfield mucked, and the Scot picked up the 46 million chip pot.
