During the break we found the following 5 chip leaders. The situation hasn’t changed considerably since the last break, but that’s not to say that the action hasn’t been fierce.
On top of what should be an interesting top prize, the winner of the Event 4 – $10,000 + $400 High Roller – will also be taking home a beautiful Pokerstars Canada Cup Trophy, seen below.
