The 4th day of the PokerStars
EPT Tallinn stop saw no fewer than 25 players belly up to the tables of the venue, on account of the fact that many of the short-stacks had proven way to stubborn the day before and stayed in contention. On day 4, there was no was no more procrastinating though. The inevitable could not be put off any more, and in a little bit more than 4 levels, the final table was set.
PokerStars’ own Arnaud Mattern was the one who managed to clinch the chip lead going into the final table of the
poker tournament. Mattern managed to build up a pretty massive lead, accumulating over 1 million chips more than second place man Kevin Stani.
Perica Bukara started the Day 4 action in the chip lead. The start of the action was a bit tense, because the first elimination of the day would bring about a prize-jump for the survivors and obviously, no one wanted to be the man to head to the rail first. Eventually, Vitalijs Zavorotnis was left with no choice but to depart. Besides Mattern, there was another big name at the tables too, Ivan Demidov. Unfortunately, the Russian got knocked out by a fellow countryman’s K,Q when it connected with another Q on the board.
As these things were happening, Mattern was busy building his stack. He knocked out two players in quick succession to shoot past the 2 million chip mark. He hit a snag soon after though. Perica Bukara bit the dust in 14th place in the meantime, donating his stack to Konstantin Bilyauer, thus helping him into the chip leader’s position.
Vallo Maidla was the last of the home contingent to be bounced. He was ushered away from the table in 10th place. Weekes became the official final table bubble-boy.
