WSOP Updates - Day Four Chip Counts and Eliminations
It used to be that day three at the main event of the World Series of Poker was considered 'moving day' �C that is the day that players either rise to the top for the stretch run, or fall by the wayside, with a ticking clock next to them counting the minutes until their elimination.
This year, with the largest field ever, and multiple day twos, it appears that moving day may have just been the day four we witnessed yesterday. We have a field of 'have's' (like chip leader Jamie Gold at 3.7 million), and have nots like short stack David Woo, who will start day five with 44,000, or just over three big blinds in his stack.
Day four was a day of the mighty falling, as Daniel Negreanu rode his short stack as far as he could, but was finally eliminated in the late afternoon. Also drawing thunderous applause was defending champ Joe Hachem, who went really deep in a quest to repeat for his title. Ultimately, Joe had his Aces cracked by Jacks, and the defending champ hit the rail in 238th place, good for $42,000 and change.
Other notables that got to go home today include Ted Forrest, Cyndy Violette, Susie Isaacs, Cece Reyes, Tom McEvoy, Hoyt Corkins, Surinder Sunar, poker legend Hans 'Tuna' Lund, Kathy Liebert, Aaron 'Gamble AB' Bartley, and David Chiu �C who entered the day in the top 10 in chip counts, but ran into some back luck.
There are still some dangerous names left in the field. Online poker legend Prahlad Friedman sits in the top 10 in chip counts, while Jeff Lisandro, and top online player Eric 'Rizen' Lynch are also in the top 20. Lurking just below that top 20 line is Annie Duke, with just under $1 million in chips. Others left in the field include Allen Cunningham, and Humberto Brenes.
Although nothing has been officially announced, its clear that the main event players will get at least one more day off. Day four was supposed to be the 'start at 600, play down to 300 day. Day five should have been play from 300 to 150. This field is playing at such a brisk pace, however, that we blew right through the day five ending total before day four even ended, and currently sit with 135 players left in the field. Our guess is they will play to 60 today, and then have an extra day off, but don't be surprised if they play straight through to 27 players remaining, and then give the whole field two days off. It doesn't seem that there is 'room in the field' to get down to 27 in a reasonable days play, but the pace of bustouts has surprised everyone, and you never know what might happen.
Below is the full list of official chip counts, and a list of the people who did not make it past day four, and how much they got paid. Good luck to the players still in the tournament.
