David Guay’s chip stack is riding a roller coaster ride on Day 4 of the Main Event. On back-to-back hands, Guay doubled up Michael O’Sullivan, only to take his chips right back.

On the first hand in this series, Guay’s  ran into O’Sullivan’s  . Following the board of  , the two were all in on the river, giving O’Sullivan the double up. However, on the very next hand, Guay shoved over O’Sullivan’s under-the-gun raise and was called. This time, it was  for Guay and  for O’Sullivan, but Guay came out on top, as the  board allowed the pocket queens to prevail.

Update: Guay hits the rail in 11th

With under 1M in chips remaining, Guay’s rollercoaster eventually came to an end today in a hand against Patrick Serda immediately following the previous two hands.

On a board reading , David moved all in after the pot had already built up considerably. After confirming the count, Patrick made the call.

Guay had missed his flush and was eliminated in 11th.

11th place: David Guay, $67,000

Amir Babakhani, the winner of the 2013 WPT Canadian Spring Championship here at Playground, has been eliminated in 12th place in the Main Event.

We missed the preflop action – when we arrived at the table, Amir (button) was all in against Sorel Mizzi (co) for just over 500,000.

Amir:

Amir was drawing thin and the board provided little help. The turn added a few outs, but the river card wasn’t one of them.

12th place: Amir Babakhani, $67,000

We have just had our first elimination of Day 4. Simon Deadman, who started the day with the shortest stack in play, was sent packing by Upeshka De Silva, following a pre-flop all in.

De Silva had opened the action from his button, attacking Deadman’s big blind. When Deadman came over the top with a raise, the two quickly got their chips in the middle and cards were tabled. It was for Deadman, up against De Silva’s , in a familiar tournament race. De Silva took a commanding lead on the flop, one that he would not relinquish on the turn or river.

Deadman will collect $53,000 for his deep Main Event run.

The Main Event is set to play down to the final table today, as only 13 players remain from a starting field of 792 entries.

The final two tables are full of familiar names, including two former WPT champions, Ema Zajmovic and Amir Babakhani, but they all trail Patrick Serda, our current chip leader, who is playing a stack just shy of 5 million.

The players will grind through as many 90-minute levels as it takes to reduce the field to six finalists, who will return tomorrow for the final table.

Good luck to all!
