As the dust settled in Day 3 of the Main Event, only 13 players remained in contention of becoming the next WPT champion, including two former champions: Ema Zajmovic and Amir Babakhani. They will return to action tomorrow at 12pm and play down to the official 6-handed final table.
Patrick Serda surged at the end of the day and ended up bagging the chip lead with nearly 5 million chips, while Santiago Plante (3,890,000) and Upeshka De Silva (3,720,000) are in a tight race for the second biggest stack. Full counts are found below.
See you tomorrow!

Day 4 players:
flop, Santiago Plante (big blind) and Brent Roberts (under the gun) checked the action over to Pierre-Paul Paulin (button), who fired 110,000. Santiago made the call, and Brent raised all-in over the top for 765,000. As soon as Pierre-Paul mucked his hand, Santiago threw in a calling chip and tabled 
for the nut straight. Brent flipped over 
and had some chances of surviving, especially after turning a flush draw on the 
turn. The 
river was not helpful though, and he was eliminated in 15th place for $44,000.
board ran in the favour of Michael. With Jean-Serge’s elimination, the field is now down to the final 2 tables, and a redraw is underway.
