Print-icon
 

Day 4 of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final began with 31 players and it took ten and a half hours for that number to dwindle down to eight. Tomorrow is the all-important day and will be life-changing for some, particularly the person who gets to take home $3,056,255 for first place.

It wasn’t long before the first player hit the rail when a short stacked “Miami” John Cernuto finished in 31st place, leaving five Americans behind in the field, with Matt Woodward as the dominating force for a good chunk of the day.

Annette ObrestadAnnette Obrestad Eliminated in 13th Place (€77,000)

Mikhail Tulchinsky bets 150,000 from the hijack, Annette Obrestad calls from the button, and the big blind Pieter de Korver calls. The flop comes Q 9 7, de Korver checks, as does Tulchinsky, and Obrestad brings out the big guns again. She bets 300,000 and de Korver raises it to 500,000. Obrestad pushes all-in and de Korver calls. Obrestad shows aces while de Korver reveals pocket nines for the set. The turn is the 4 and the river is the nail in the coffin – 9, giving de Korver quad nines.

Obrestad goes out in 13th place for €77,000 after some outstanding play.

Steven Silverman Eliminated in 12th Place (€97,000)

Daniel Zink moves all in and Steven Silverman calls. Zink has A K, Silverman A Q, and the board comes J 5 5 10 6. Zink has Silverman covered and so the young American goes out in 12th place for €97,000.

Grayson Physioc Eliminated in 11th Place (€97,000)

Matt Woodward raises to 160,000 preflop, Grayson Physioc shoves all in for 1,340,000. Woodward calls with A 9 and Physioc shows 7 7. The board comes A K 10 J and Physioc prays for another spade. The river is the 6 and Physioc is out in 11th place for €97,000.
