Bellagio Cup V -- Day 4The Field Plays Down to 10 While Faraz Jaka Holds the Lead |
|
Day 4 of the Bellagio Cup V took place today in the Fontana Lounge at Bellagio in Las Vegas. Play began at noon when 31 surviving players took their seats in the $15,000 World Poker Tour no-limit hold’em championship. The money bubble would burst when just 27 players remained, and surprisingly it didn’t take too long for that to happen. During the first level of play Ray Henson, Jonathan Little, Jong Jin, and Tommy Hang (bubble boy) all walked away empty handed. Things didn’t slow down too much even after the bubble busted, and it took just under four levels to play down to the unofficial final table of 10. Here is a look at all of the players that finished in the money on day 4:
27. Raj Vohra — $23,245
