Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2013 World Series of Poker for Day 4 of Event #53: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em!

Although expected to finish late this morning, three players remained as play closed for the night with Scottish pro David Vamplew leading with 5,345,000. Snapping on my heels is Brett Shaffer who is lucky to still be alive after cracking Vamplew's aces with queen-nine.

Rounding out the rear is Finnish player Arttu Raekorpi who also had a great chance to take control of the tournament before losing ace-king to the ace-queen of Vamplew.
