Day 4 Started
On the penultimate day of WPT Nottingham just 16 players remain led by former WSOP Main Event finalist Antoine Saout who is top of the pack with 2,317,000. Every single player left is guaranteed a minimum payout of £10,200 but make it to the final table and that will increase to £39,500. The seat draw (which will be posted shortly) should raise some eyebrows, five of the top six stacks are all on the same table.
Saout busted Fraser Macintyre in the last hand of Day 3 with just over 13 minutes left of level 20 (5,000/10,000/1,000) remaining. Today the tournament will be playing down to the final six, no matter how long it takes. With the average stack over 66 big blinds, it means that this could take a while but the £200,000 first prize will keep everyone concentrating.
Levels will once again be 90 minutes long today before switching to 60 minutes for tomorrow's final. Play is scheduled to begin at 1pm and you can follow all the action here on PokerNews!
