The most important few days of Event #26: $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em Marathon are set to begin as just 52 out of 1,083 players return to the felt for Day 4 of this six-day tournament. There are still some familiar names in the field looking to get their hands on some World Series of Poker jewelry but it's Matt Russell currently leading them all at the business end of proceedings.

Players started to cross the one million chip mark late on Day 3 and it was Russell who surpassed them all by bagging up 1,260,000 chips. Not far behind him is Tuan Hong (1,205,000), and Johan Guilbert (1,204,000) who will also enter the day with over 120 big blinds. The average stack will begin at over 50 big blinds and this is the point in the tournament where you will start to see the action slow down as the pay jumps start to increase.

A few other names to keep an eye on include high-stakes cash game player Sergio Fernandez (1,005,000) who is no stranger to making WSOP final tables, having made back-to-back final tables at the 2017 WSOP Europe. There are a couple of bracelet winners still in the field including Preston Lee (796,000), and Ryan Leng (686,000). Anatoly Filatov and Joseph Cheong have had plenty of success at the felt in their poker careers but are still looking for that elusive WSOP gold bracelet.

The players reached the money in the early stages of Day 3 and are now all guaranteed at least $8,075 heading into today. However, there is still plenty of money up for grabs including a $477,401 payday for the eventual winner. For some, this will be life-changing money while for others, it will just be another check-mark to add to their poker resume.

The action is slated to get underway at 1 p.m. local time in the Amazon Room with the blinds resuming on level 19. The blinds will begin at 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante and will continue to be 100 minutes in length. There will be a 15-minute break after each level and a 60-minute dinner break after the fourth level of the day. Another six levels are scheduled to be played today before the players bag and tag after roughly 12 more hours of poker.

Continue to follow along with the PokerNews live reporting team to find out who will be able to outlast their opponents and who will move that much closer to a WSOP title.
