Day 4 of WPT World Championships is over. The ramaining field is full of top professionals and there’s no free chips for anyone left.

The fourth day brough casualties as some heavy duty pros found themselves at the rail: Carlos Mortensen, David “Devilfish” Ulliott and Yevgeniy Timoshenko were among the eliminated players.
