Tension Increases for Fab Four

With four left, the tension has increased dramatically as players quietly acknowledge the sudden jump in money that each step of the ladder brings.

One of those players still remaining is the charismatic Gregory Alston. He has seen more ups and downs than the bumpiest of rollercoasters, but is somehow still plugging away with a credible 255,000 in chips.

Clothed in chequered shirt and unique fisherman's hat (although the design may have a more official name), Alston sticks out like an Englishman in a tanning salon as his more reserved tablemates lock on their shades, keep their arms motionless on the felt and focus fully on the task at hand.

A contrast in styles and approach, certainly, but at this point in the tournament, it's still anyone's game.
