Staszko Falls in 25th to Bring an End to Day 4

With just two minutes left in the level, 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event runner up Martin Staszko was eliminated in 25th place to bring about an end of Day 4.

It happened when action folded to Niall Farrell in the small blind and he put in a raise. Staszko responded by moving all in from the big for approximately 375,000 and Farrell snap-called.

Staszko knew he was in trouble even before the cards were turned up. Indeed, the PokerNews Odds Calculator gave him just a 23.70% chance of surviving the hand while Farrell would win 75.09% of the time.

The flop dropped Staszko's chances to 16.97%, and the turn knocked it down even further to 6.82%. Staszko needed a seven on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the useless peeled off.

With Staszko's elimination, just 24 players remain. Play has been halted for the evening. Stay tuned for chip counts, the three-table redraw and a full recap of the day's action.
