Folded to Greg Merson in the small blind and Elisabeth Hille in the big blind, the two players would begin a raising war until all the chips were in preflop. It was Hille at risk and this is how the two player's cards looked.
Hille:   |
Merson:   |
Hille was looking good to double up and that would end up being the case, with the 
board ensuring that Hille raked in the big pot.

Maria Ho is looking gorgeous as usual and is in the money in the Main Event!
Just prior to the break, Dag Martin Mikkelsen opened for 15,000 only to have James Keys three-bet to 28,000. Action folded to perhaps the most well-known player left in the field, Hollywood actor Kevin Pollak, who moved all in for 147,000. Mikkelsen got out of the way and Keys made the call.
Showdown
Keys:
Pollak: 
Pollak was on his feet in anticipation of the flop, which came down 
. "Come on," Pollak said. The dealer obliged as neither the not 
river helped Keys.
"David," Pollak told the dealer after the hand, "For the record you're my favorite." Pollak went on to say that it was the first time all tournament he's been all in and at risk.

Ben Greenberg of Boulder, Colorado has had a terrific Day 4 thus far, having begun the day with nearly a million and worked that stack up over 2 million and first-place position during the first two two-hour levels.
Greenberg is a graduate of Duke University where he majored in English and psychology. He is currently pursuing a career as a poker pro. At this moment his wife is flying in from Colorado to follow his Main Event progress in person.
Ben is playing with a broken arm, an injury sustained while sliding into home plate in a softball game. The injury is clearly not hampering his ability to push chips in the middle, however.
