Day 4 Started

Day 4 Is About To Start; Chi Zhang Leads

Welcome back to PokerNews' coverage of the 2015 partypoker World Poker Tour UK Main Event where at 12:00 GMT, 18 players return to their seats at Dusk Till Dawn and will play for as long as it takes to reach the official six-handed final table.

Chi Zhang is the man to catch going into the penultimate day and he's the only player to start with more than 2 million chips. While he does have a sizeable chip lead, Zhang reaching the final table is far from a forgone conclusion because there are some very talented poker players among the 18 returnees.

The likes of Craig McCorkell, Iaron Lightbourne, Ben Vinson and Mitchel Johnson are all more than capable of walking away with the title, plus anyone who has progressed this far in such a prestigious event has got here on merit and would be a worthy a champion.

Here's how the final two tables line up:

The Battle Of Late Position

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
