WPT Prague Day 4 – Final Table Reached
Posted by: James Carter. - Sun, 2013-12-22 11:55
The 4th day of the WPT’s
bwin-sponsored Prague Main Event saw 21 players return to the tables, looking to play down to the official final table. That objective was indeed reached, and at the end of the day, Vasili Firsau emerged with the largest stack. Firsau had 2.49 million chips bagged. Andrey Shatilov and Ognjen Secularac were the other two notables who made the final stretch of the event.
The first victim of the day was Manuel Bevand, who got his last chips into the middle on a pair of 5s. He was called by Ryan Spittles, who had an A,Qo for the classic coin-flip. The first card to hit the flop was a Q, and an A landed on the turn to add insult to injury and to send Bevand packing in 21st place.
Chanracy Chun followed Bevand to the rail in 18th place. He was pushed out of the way by Andrey Shatilov, after both players made diamond flushes but Shatilov’s was the nut one.
Govert Metaal was one of the players who fell during Day 4 too: he got his chips into the middle on an A,Jo and he got a call from Julian Thomas, who had A,Qo. Metaal’s hand failed to catch up and he too was bounced.
Following him to the rail was Emil Matsson, followed in turn by Marc-Etienne McLaughlin. McLaughlin was sent packing by Daniel Laidlaw, after a classic pocket 9s vs pocket 8s preflop confrontation. The only problem was that McLaughlin was the one holding the pocket 9s and Laidlaw was the one who got lucky, catching a third 8 on the river to score the KO.
The final table bubble-boy was Roger Hairabedian, who saw his
poker tournament life snapped by Valeri Savov. The chips went into the middle preflop and Hairabedian tabled Ad,10d against Savov’s pocket Ks.
