Who Will Walk Away with the $819,000 First-Place Prize in Poker Masters Event #4?

Event #4: $50,000 NLHE at the Poker Masters at the ARIA Resort and Casino began with 39 entries, and today just the final table of seven return to action.

Doug Polk comes in with 1.357 million, which is enough for the chip lead. Polk jumped into action late yesterday as he had also made the final table of Event #3, ultimately finishing in 5th place for $144,000. The only other player in seven-figure territory is Brandon Adams with 1.187 million.

Also at the final table is Steffen Sontheimer, who has technically made every last table of each Poker Masters tournament. He finished fourth in Event #1 for $204,000 and then won Event #2 for $900,000. In Event #3, he busted in eighth place, which was the money bubble.

That puts him in the lead for Poker Masters earnings with $1.104 million. If you recall, the player with the best results (highest total earnings) throughout all five Poker Masters tournaments (four $50,000 buy-in tournaments capped by a $100,000 freeze out finale) will win The Poker Masters Purple Jacket™.

Others at today's final table are Zach Clark, David Peters, Jake Schindler, and Justin Bonomo will also be present at the final table. When the players arrive at Noon, the action will resume on the money bubble with only six players getting paid. A min-cash will be worth $97,500 and the winner will be taking home $819,000.

The final table will be live-streamed on PokerGO starting at 12:30 p.m. local time, along with the coverage right here on PokerNews. The rest of the players will get a one-day break as the $100,000 freeze out finale kicks off on Monday at 2:00 p.m. PST.

Stay tuned!
