Only 189 players remain and will return to face off in Day 5 of the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. The current chip leader is young Jeremy Joseph with 2,187,000 in chips. Nikolay Losev close behind with 2,110,000, followed by Cristian Dragomir with 2,065,000, Brandon Cantu with 1,981,000, and Davor Lanini rounding it out in fifth place with 1,958,000. All this of course according to and THANKS to the fine folks over at PokerNews.com, watch the action for yourself at http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/.
Let's take a look back to when I left off, in need of my beauty sleep, and as the players were headed to their dinner break.
Here's a problem I'd like to have at least one time...

Here's a New Problem
Brandon Cantu just complained to a floorperson that he had too many chips on the table. His stack was so big, and comprised of so many yellow (T1,000) chips, that he had no room on the table in front of him to actually play his cards. The floorperson quickly vanished, only to return a few moments later bearing some orange (T5,000) and green (T25,000) chips. Cantu changed out 600,000 worth of yellows, and in the process cleared quite a bit of real estate.
And oops not the time bluff:

Um, Yeah, I CallAfter an intriguing 5c 5s 5d flop Nicholas Sliwinski checked and Ross Smith moved in for his last 255,000. One imagines that Sliwinski called as fast as is humanly possible because he held Qh 5h for quad fives and Smith was drawing completely dead. Sliwinski is now up to 1.37 million.
Apparantly one player has had a "rule" named after him the "Mark Vos Rule" which the tournment officials have implemented. Players are not permitted to stack their chips in an unstable manner. Okay, think of it as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and it makes perfect sense.
And as play came to a close for the day as I said before they are down to 189 players. Notables still remaining include Shawn Sheikhan, Mark Vos, Gus Hansen, Victor Ramdin, Alexander Kostritsyn, Allen Cunningham, Jeff Madsen, Tiffany Michelle, Mike Matusow, Kara Scott, Hoyt Corkins and, of course "whining" his way through the pack the last remaining WSOP World Champion in the field, Phil Hellmuth.
Oh and here on the homefront, one more All-Star game to play at 1:30, and our clan is outa here! Beach Time!
