Day 4 of the WSOPE’s Main Event was a star-studded affair. John Juanda had secured the chip lead on Day 3 and refused to relinquish it as by the end of the 4th day of hostilities he was still at the helm of the action. His monster stack proved unstoppable for many of the other players who were methodically crushed by Juanda.
Andy Bloch was the first casualty of the day, finishing in 24th place. Mel Judah soon followed him to the rail, a victim of Juanda aggressiveness. He shoved all-in on a pair of Qs only to be called by Juanda with A,5.
The flop fell A,3,6 and no help came on the turn or the river for the besieged Judah.
Erik Seidel left the competition in 19th place, as he made a bold move and went all in on his 7,3o. Unfortunately for him, there was someone at the table eagerly waiting for an opportunity like that, with a pair of rockets concealed in his pocket. That someone was Soren Kongsgaard, and he quickly called Seidel, who hit a low pair on the flop, but the turn and the river gave Kongsgaard a straight for the pot.
Mike Matusow headed to the rail next, in possession of a £36,200 prize, after he ran his J,10 into Johnny Lodden’s 5s,6s. The board was quick to give Lodden a pair of 5s to once again underscore Matusow’s status as an enemy of goddess Fortuna.
Watching John Juanda manhandle the opposition, Daniel Negreanu decided it was about time he opened up his own can of whoop-ass. Brandon Adams was unfortunate enough to cross his path, and he took him out on a A,Q vs Kc,Qc match-up in which his hand was dominated but prevailed because of a K which landed on the flop.
Brian Townsend soon found himself felted, followed to the rail by Philippe Rouas. Soren Kongsgaard followed them, and Johnny Lodden’s tournament life expired shortly too.
Peter Neff busted out in 10th place at the hands of Ivan Demidov, having run his K,K into Demidov’s nut flush which filled up on the turn.
John Juanda finished the day with 1,349,000 chips, followed by Stanislav Alekhin with 1,278,000 and Ivan Demidov with 1,006,000.
