Day 4 Completed

Ed De Haas Picks Up 200K Pot on Last Hand of the Night

Rep Porter raises to 50,000 and is reraised to 100,000 by Roy Winston. Team PokerNews player Ed De Haas moves all in for a total of 800,000 behind them. Both players have close to two million in chips. Rep Porter goes into the tank for a long time and eventually folds. Winston goes into the tank for an even longer time, and the clock is eventually called. With only seconds remaining, he folds.

Ed De Haas takes it down and is back up to just over a million in chips.

Ed Betlow Eliminated

Ed Betlow's Main Event just came to an end when he took his {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} up against the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} of Ryan Elson. The money went in preflop and it was Betlow's tournament life on the line. Both men paired their kickers as the board came {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} but it was Elson's pair of queens that earned him the pot. Ed Betlow was eliminated and Ryan Elson is hovering near the 2,000,000 chip mark.

John Bird Doubles Through Josh Evans

Josh Evans, playing from middle position, opened the pot for a standard raise. Action folded around to John Bird in the small blind who moved all in. Evans called and the players showed...

Evans: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Bird: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and John Bird doubled up to 500,000. Don't feel bad for Evans just yet, he is still a force with just under 2,000,000.
