WPT $25,000 Final: Day 4 - At A Glance

[Djinn]

Richard Anthony  640k
Lyle Berman   314k
Sorel Mizzi     1.2 mil
David Baker    1.29 mil
Thomas Schreiber  360k
Phil Hellmuth   800k
David Levi       1.3 mil
Roland de Wolfe  360k

Phil Hellmuth raised preflop (blinds are now 10k/20k ante 3k)... Sorel Mizzi called in the big blind.
Flop:    Hellmuth is talking, someone's all in on the table behind, I missed who made the bet here, but they got to the turn with a medium pot going.  Sorel bet it solidly, and Hellmuth made a show of reluctance, "I'm going to need a Jack..." before calling.
River:  (incredibly). Now Sorel moves all in for his remaining few hundred thousand (that's a funny phrase to write) and Hellmuth called characteristically quickly...
Sorel showed:  for the boat, while Hellmuth flashed an Ace and mucked, chagrined.
Roland pipes up, "The Jack was probably the safest card in the deck."  But Sorel admits, "The Jack scared me, I'm not going to lie."

Roland de Wolfe doubles up to 700k - heard it over the mic - all in with a flush, no less, against Richard Anthony.

Ian Johns is OUT in 30th, his pre-flop all-in push being instacalled by Mike Wattel

Johns =

Wattel -

Board =

Ian got excited on the Turn, but was visibly frustrated when he missed all 14 outs.

------------

Lyle Berman is also OUT.

All-in pre-flop against my pick of the day, Sorel Mizzi, with K-J vs. Aces.

Lyle eventually made three Jacks, but unfortunately for him, Sorel flopped a set.

Counts from Table Wahlroos:

Tom Pniak      350,000 (just doubled up with all-in against Jimmy Tran's - all in pre, but spiked a King on the flop to survive)
Kirk Morrison    1,700,000
Grant Lang      1,200,000
Can Hua          1,280,000
Adeeb Harb     740,000
Thomas Wahlroos  2,200,000
Guy Laliberte    1,440,000
Jimmy Tran       560,000

Third Table Counts:

Raymond Davis    380,000
David Baker       1,034,000
Jake Minter        1,620,000
Loi Phan             450,000
Ben Johnson      1,490,000
Carlos Mortensen  2,140,000
Mike Wattel         1,630,000

The switch between Raymond Davis' and Jake Minter's stack sizes occurred just now when Jake somehow got it all in preflop with (I am sure there was an interesting preflop raise-re-raise tango but I missed it) against Davis' .  A big pot, and a pretty annoyed Raymond Davis when the flop came and the turn and river didn't redraw the Ace.  Ow.

Thomas Schreiber is OUT in 28th.

Roland raised it up, Richard Anthony pushed all-in in for 314k and Thomas Schreiber followed suit for 250k.

A couple of objections from players when they reached the last-three-tables mark to carrying on play at all mean, apparently, that play is suspended until tomorrow after just 5 hours.  Personally I think this is a mistake - one more level played today might avoid a 4am finish tomorrow (the penultimate day).  But I'm always saying that, and the field is still working away at itself with fair speed...
