GL to all Brits left, lets see one of them take this thing down!

Reading the updates on the WSOP site during the bubble of the main and I saw what, in my opinion, is an astounding over reach and break in ethics from the EPSN production crew.  Considering the One Drop/Coleman discussion, is this anywhere near acceptable or the way highly exposed poker tournaments are going to go?  And will it be allowed next time?

Taken from the update blog on from WSOP.com

We just witnessed an enormous pot over on Table 365 in the Amazon Orange section a few spots away from the money.

The action folded around to Stephen Graner in the small blind and he made it 17,500 to go. Dan Smith called from the big blind and the flop came down .

Graner bet 25,000 on the flop and Smith made the call in position. The turn brought the and Graner bet another 65,000. This time Smith opted to raise it up to 175,000 and Graner went into the tank.

After a while Graner three-bet to 430,000 and this put Smith in the tank for several minutes. Eventually, with all the ESPN cameras rolling, Smith made the call.

The river brought out the and Graner paused for about a minute before checking to Smith. Smith started counting down his own stack and about two minutes later he announced, "All in."

Graner sighed.

Graner tanked.

About five minutes went by, as Graner started talking to himself before ultimately letting go of his hand. Graner pushed his cards to the muck and the ESPN production staff was about to grab his cards when Graner freaked out.

"You're not recording my cards! I paid $400 rake to play this tournament, you are not filming my cards!" Graner yelled.

Graner and the member of the production staff got tangled over the cards and eventually the dealer ripped the cards to the side.

"Don't film my cards! It's only Day 4 anyway, so who cares?" a very upset Graner yelled.

"I was going to show, but now I think that's unfair," Dan Smith said as he swiftly put his cards into the muck.

"He mucked his cards! Now you definitely can't show mine!" Graner yelled.

Eventually Graner's cards were mucked and we will never know what either player had. What we do know is that Smith is the chip leader right on the bubble!

The action folded to Stuart Rutter on the button and he raised to 10,500. Daniel Alaei called from the big blind and checked the {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop with Rutter continuing for 12,000. Alaei then pushed in a stack of chips before Rutter moved all in for 73,000 with Alaei instantly making the call.

Although Rutter was the first hand to be paused, his would be the last to be played out.

Rutter: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Alaei: {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}

With Rutter at risk, the turn of the {4-Diamonds} and river of the {7-Diamonds} ensured him the double to 174,000 as Alaei slipped to 145,000 in chips.

Matthew Haugen Leads Final 291 After Day 4

Day 4 of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event has come to a close and leading the final 291 players is Matthew Haugen. Haugen bagged up a stack of 2.808 million to end the day and will return on Saturday as the player closest to achieving the dream of winning the $10,000,000 first-place prize and the championship gold bracelet.

The bubble burst on the second level of the day, guaranteeing the top 693 finishers a payday of at least $18,406. On the first bubble hand, John Dwyer ran a full house into November Niner Mark Newhouse's quad fives. Zhen Cai followed Dwyer out the door, unable to improve with pocket queens against Darren Keyes' pocket aces. Finally, Kori Hunter's pocket aces were cracked by Harry Kaczka's nine-eight which made two pair. All three of these players made $6,135 and Cai won a high card for a free seat in next year's Main Event.

One the money bubble was burst, players began dropping like flies. One of the most notable eliminations was that of 10-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey. Ivey held the chip lead coming into Day 3 but had an unfortunate Day 4, ultimately falling from play in 430th place.

Some notable names who will return to the felt on Day 5 include Leif Force (1.987 million), Martin Jacobson (1.594 million), Simon Charette (1.525 million), Andrey Zaichenko (1.484 million), Matt Waxman (1.453 million), Ankush Mandavia (1.093 million), Jared Bleznick (986,000), Rep Porter (931,000), David Tuthill (896,000), Mukul Pahuja (827,000), Bryan Devonshire (667,000), Maria Ho (544,000), Jeff Madsen (419,000), and David Einhorn (284,000).

Play resumes at 12 p.m. on Saturday where the final 291 will play five more levels on the path to the November Nine
