Lu Zhang
Lu Zhang

Lu Zhang has moved up to the top of the chip counts now after dragging a pot worth close to one-million chips.

She made a straight against Trevor Delaney's two pair and got paid with a big river raise to take it down.

Zhang is now closing in on the two-million chip mark.

Edmund Campion Eliminated in 15th Place ($14,130 CAD)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Edmund Campion
Edmund Campion

Edmund Campion got in this event for $20 on partypoker. He tried to register for a $20 sit and go tournament on the site but mis-clicked his way into a steps qualifier for the 2015 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship.

A win and a few steps later he was off to Montreal and has now turned that $20 into $14,130 CAD and a pretty nice vacation.

The Irishman doubled up Jeff Gross getting it in with {A-}{Q-} versus Gross' {K-}{9-} but Gross made two pair.

A few hands later Campion was all in ahead against chip leader Samuel Tsehai with {A-}{J-} versus {J-}{10-}, but the {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} made Tsehai two pair to send Campion out into the Montreal sunshine with a nice payday, huge ROI and a great story.

Campion told his whole story to PokerNews' Caitlyn Howe in the following video interview:

Senthuran Vijayaratnam

No all in action, double ups or bustouts to start the day today.

However, Senthuran Vijayaratnam did take a big pot off Eric Afriat getting paid with a spade flush.

He's off life support for now, but Afriat got a lot of the chip he lost back a few minutes later by pushing Jonathan Karamalikis off of an {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board with a big river bet.

Day 4 of the 2015 partypoker World Poker Tour Canadian Spring Championship Starts Now!

Samuel Bisrat Tsehai

The fourth day of the 2015 partypoker World Poker Tour Canadian Spring Championship at PlayGround Poker Club in Montreal, Quebec is set to begin with just 15 players remaining at 12 p.m. local time.

They will play down to the six-player final table today with Canadian Samuel Tsehai coming in holding the lead.

A 25th-place finish at WPT Montreal in 2013 and a 70th at the 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure main event are Tsehai's biggest poker accomplishments so far, but he can better both by locking up a seat in the final today.

He will come into play with a little over 1.5 million and a host of dangerous characters breathing down his neck.

2014 WPT Montreal 10th-place finisher Sheraz Nasir and fellow Canadian Trevor Delaney are the only other players with more than one million in chips, but 2015 WPT Fallsview ninth-place finisher Lu Zhang, Montreal local and 2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown champ Eric Afriat, and Aussie online star and two-time APPT title holder Jonathan Karamalikis are close.

Plus WSOP Bracelet winner Pascal LeFrancois, 2014 WPT Johannesburg champ Dylan Wilkerson, 2012 WPT Montreal third-place finisher Jeff Gross and partypoker qualifier Edmund Campion are still in the mix.

All 15 players are still in with a shot at the $237,390 first-place prize and a seat in the WPT Season XIV World Championship and come in guaranteed $14,130 CAD in 15th place money.

The PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on hand for all the action with live updates and videos throughout, so keep it locked right here.
