Day 4 Action
The action resumed with 32 players remaining and Dimitar Yosifov leading the way. ClubGG qualifier Daniel Petri shot up the ranks to put pressure on the overnight chip leader.
However, he was eliminated by Guillaume Diaz who took over as chip leader with three tables remaining as another Frenchman pulled out in front. Johan Guilbert had chipped up steadily and seemed to be in the thick of the action. Despite one hand where he tanked for over 17 minutes he sent multiple opponents to the rail.
Diaz would have two opponents double through him as his challenge faltered, with Guilbert taking over at the top of the counts. However, after Diaz and Yossi Dayan were sent to the rail in eleventh and tenth place respectively, it was Gulas held a commanding lead as the final table got underway.
There was still time for the eliminations of Brian Kamphorst and Ilija Savevski to round out the day, with play being halted for the final seven players and Gulas still in the lead.
Action resumes on Wednesday with live-streamed cards up coverage and commentary on PokerGO starting as of 6.30 p.m. local time. PokerNews will also be on-site to provide live updates until a winner is crowned.
