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.
Level: 23
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 3,000

Eric Afriat called off most of his chips with against a Senthuran Vijayaratnam shove.
Vijayaratnam held tens and tens held to leave Afriat with just a few chips and a chair. He more than tripled up from 6,000 the very next hand, then skipped a couple of hands, before getting all in behind from the big blind after a Robert Taylor raise with versus .
This time he made two pair to double back to some 60,000.
