    Edmund Campion is the first player to be eliminated in Day 4. He had just lost a good portion of his stack to Jeff Gross when he was dealt another hand upon which he could gamble his last 168K. Action folded around to Samuel Bisrat Tsehai, who didn’t seem happy about the situation but said, “I can’t really fold here” and threw in a chip.

    Edmund: Ace of Diamonds Jack of Clubs
    Samuel: Jack of Diamonds 10 of Spades

    Edmund was a big favourite to win the hand, and the flop Jack of Spades 3 of Clubs 4 of Hearts was good for him. The 10 of Hearts on the turn, however, was the worst card and the 2 of Spades on the river didn’t put him back in the lead.

    15th place: Edmund John Campion, $14,130.00

    Edmund: Ace of Hearts Queen of Spades

    Jeff spiked two-pairs on the flop, and went on to double up on the 6 of Spades King of Diamonds 9 of Spades 2 of Hearts 5 of Hearts board.

    Eric raised to 48K from tug and Jonathan Karamalikis raised to 115K from the cutoff. Action folded around to Eric and he made the call.

    The flop fell 10 of Clubs Ace of Clubs 8 of Clubs. Both players checked and the turn was dealt: Queen of Hearts. This prompted Eric to bet 100K and Jon tanked but eventually flat called. The river was the 10 of Diamonds, and again Eric led out with a bet of 225K. This time Jonathan found a fold, and Eric won the pot.

    Senthuran Vijayaratnam

    We arrived at table 36 with a sizeable pot in the middle and the flop and turn already dealt: Jack of Spades Jack of Diamonds King of Diamonds 2 of Spades. It was a three-way pot at this point, and first to act Senthuran (who had been the bb in the hand) checked. Eric Afriat bet 50K and John Krpan (button) folded. Senthuran made the call and the river was dealt: King of Spades.

    Senthuran checked again and Eric led out for 125K – but found a snap call from Senturan who turned over the flush (Ace of Spades 9 of Spades). Eric mucked and Senthuran added a nice sum to his stack.

    Play has resumed in level 23 for the 15 players left in the partypoker.net WPT Canadian Spring Championship. Interestingly enough, one player is running late – chip leader Sam Tsehai hasn’t yet arrived at the table. Of course he’ll be blinded out as play continues.

    Update: Sam has now arrived at the table and only missed 3 or 4 hands of play!
