Welcome to Day 4 of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event!

The starting field of 1,031 players is down to just 72, each looking to become the newest PCA Main Event champion and capture the $1,820,420 first-place prize. On top of the chip counts is Max Silver with 1.453 million, followed by Roger Teska with 1.406 million and Kyle Sorel with 1.132 million - the only three players above the seven-figure mark.

Currently sitting fifth in chips is Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst with 911,000, fresh off of her third-place finish in the $100,000 Super High Roller. Also still representing Team Pokerstars is Team Online's Marc-Andre Ladouceur (416,000), Angel Guillen (322,000), Marcel Luske (320,000), and Liv Boeree (115,000). Many other of poker's best still remain, including Shyam Srinivasan (811,000), Matt Berkey (607,000), Isaac Baron (433,000), Matt Stout (433,000), Loni Harwood (394,000), and Mike McDonald (355,000).

Play is set to resume at noon local time, about 20 minutes from now, so keep it here throughout the day as we play down to the final two or three tables.

Greenwood Gone, Muur Vaults Into Chip Lead

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Greenwood - Eliminated
Sam Greenwood - Eliminated

We missed some of the action on this hand, but Madis Muur was kind enough to recap how it went down. According to Muur, Sam Greenwood raised to 18,000 from the cutoff and Muur three-bet to 41,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Greenwood called.

The flop came {7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and Greenwood took the lead with a bet of 33,000. Muur called to see the {8-Hearts} hit the turn. Greenwood moved forward 74,000 on this street and Muur stuck around once more.

The {6-Diamonds} finished off the board and Greenwood slowed with a check. Muur moved out 202,000 and Greenwood shipped all in over the top for about 600,000. Muur snapped him off with {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the nut straight and a dejected Greenwood tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for top two and the second best hand.

After scoring this elimination, Muur is sitting on the chip lead with about 1.64 million in chips.

Dutchman Flies Off

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Marcel Luske - Eliminated
Marcel Luske - Eliminated

Marcel Luske, Fabio Freitas, and Fabian Ortiz took a flop of {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Freitas fired out 27,000, Luske raised to 67,000, and Ortiz moved all in for 481,000. Freitas folded, and Luske called all in for around 140,000.

Luske: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Ortiz: {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Luske was drawing very thin, and was drawing dead after the {2-Hearts} turned. A meaningless {3-Spades} completed the board, and Luske hit the rail.

Boeree Times Two

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Liv Boeree doubles

The action folded to Mark Ioli, who min-raised to 20,000 on the button. Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree three-bet to 80,000, Ioli moved all in for effectively 286,000, and Boeree called.

Ioli: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Boeree: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Boeree was comfortably ahead with her wired pair, but Ioli picked up a wheel draw when the dealer spread {2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}. The American also picked up a backdoor spade draw, but those dreams vanished when the turn produced the {6-Diamonds}.

The Brit successfully doubled when the {8-Clubs} completed the board, climbing up to 584,000 chips. Ioli fell to 171,000.

Boeree Loses 1.2 Million-Chip Flip With Queens; Busts

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Liv Boeree - Eliminated in massive race
Liv Boeree - Eliminated in massive race

Former November Niner Antoine Saout opened to 20,000 in the hijack seat, and Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree, who just doubled, three-bet to 80,000 out of the small blind. Saout responded with a four-bet to 158,000, Boeree moved all in for 583,000, and the Frenchman made the call.

Saout: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Boeree: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

There was over 1.2 million in the middle as the dealer rapped the felt and spread a flop of {3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Saout took a commanding lead, leaving Boeree drawing to the two remaining queens in the deck, but she received neither as the turn and river bricked {2-Spades}, {4-Diamonds} respectively.

Boeree was off to the payout desk to collect her winnings, while Saout is up to 1.6 million chips.

Matt Stout - Eliminated
Matt Stout - Eliminated

The board read {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts} when we came upon Matt Stout engaged in a hand with Thomas Hall. Stout fired out 50,000 on the turn and Hall called to see a river.

The dealer produced the {6-Hearts} to completed the board which prompted Stout to move all in for 176,000. Hall announced a call and Stout tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for just ace-high. Hall rolled over {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for top pair and was pushed the pot.

Stout made for the rail while Hall boosted his stack to 930,000.

Guillen Gone

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Angel Guillen - Eliminated
Angel Guillen - Eliminated

Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen moved all in for 63,000 from early position, and the action folded to Jude Ainsworth, who called on the button. Both blinds folded.

Guillen: {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Ainsworth: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Guillen was in dire straights, but the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop gave him a pair of aces and a three-to-one advantage. The turn was the {10-Spades}, however, giving Ainsworth Broadway, and the {7-Spades} bricked off on the river.
