852 players were back yesterday for the 4th day of the main event of the world series of poker 2011, while many had to the eye the famous counter of the remaining players. Indeed, players had to survive even a few hours to ensure $ 19 359 finishing among the first 693rd positions.Among them, 13 Quebecers could still claim the title. Two of between them did not arrive to reach paid places: Isabelle 'NoMercy' Mercier and Ludovic 'Theplux' Lachance. Regarding the latter, he finished 715e, to a handful of places of paid places. So, eleven Quebecers make sure to get your hands on a stock exchange. This is a slight decrease from the year past where a player of most (12) has accomplished the same feat.
Once the bubble burst, Christos Arvanitis was the only Quebec victim of yesterday. He finished in 505th place, which pays him $ 23,876.
Here is therefore the classification of the 10 survivors who will take part in the day 5, while it remains only 378 players and all are guaranteed to get their hands on $ 30 974:
David Barter (11e - 1 672 000)
Marc-André Ladouceur (23rd - 1 244 000)
Marc-Étienne 'General Irish' McLaughlin(38th - 1 047 500)
Patrick-James 'pjamez' McNamara (110th - 649 000)
Philippe 'Takechip' of Auteuil (181st - 463 000)
Terry Hobbs (189th - 450,000)
Jonathan 'KiwiKaki' Garneau(283rd - 260 000)
Patrick 'patnitrof' Fortin (314th - 198,000)
Shawn Hattem (323rd - 190,000)
Arthur Walker(338th - 149 000)
Overall, the day was so strong for virtually all Quebecers, who were able to increase their stack. Only Shawn Hattem and Jonathan 'kiwikaki' Garneau finished the day with less than chips at the beginning of the day.
For the moment, Manoj Viswanathan is the leader in chips. It is the only one that exceeds the cap of the 2 million chips. Many known faces are still in contention, including Daniel Negreanu, David Bach, Jean-Robert Bellande, Benjamin Lamb, Sebastian Ruthenberg, Joseph Cheong, Eli Elezra, Jon 'pearljammer' Turner, Todd Brunson, Sorel Mizzi and JP Kelly. Unfortunately for him, Phil Hellmuth Jr will have seen his WSOP adventure ending: after many sparkling performance, Hellmuth completes before the paid places.
