European Poker Tour - Day 4 Recap

The action on Day 4 of the European Poker Tour Grand Finale at the Bay Casino in Monte Carlo reduced the field of players from 32 down to the final table of 8.

The top 64 players would finish in the money, with 64th place getting 13,270 Euros and 1st place receiving a 1.8 million Euros prize.

Andy Black of Ireland started the day as the chip leader, but players such as Dean Sanders, Gavin Griffin, and Antony Lellocuhe managed to narrow the lead as the day went on. Black had a rollercoaster of a day, and his chip total varied wildly throughout. He came on strong down the stretch, eliminating Philip Hilm and getting back within striking distance of the lead.

Once the final table had been set, the players adjourned for the day. They had managed to wade through 709 skilled poker players in order to make it to the final 8 (and a chance at becoming a millionaire).

Gavin Griffin (USA) 2,597,000
Marc Karam (Canada) 1,742,000
Soren Kongsgaard (Denmark) 1,612,000
