August 5, 2006—Day 4, Event #39

And then there were 481. The field keeps whittling as the main event continues into its fourth day.

Cindy Violette's gamble paid off. The big blind called after Violette went All-in with her remaining $22,500. She doubled up with pocket Aces against her opponent's pocket Tens.

Joseph Hachem doubled up after going All-in with $105,000 on the pre-flop holding an As and Qs in his pocket. The board went his way, revealing a Qh, Qd, 9s, 2s, 4s giving him a flush.

Mark Vos was eliminated from the tournament.

Just the chip leader the day previous, Dmitri Nobles was knocked off from the top perch. Still, he managed to double up with a pair of Aces, increasing his total to $340,000.

Kathy Liebert was finally was knocked out of the tournament. Liebert finished 275th overall, not bad for someone who avoided elimination on more than one occasion.

The bad times seemingly continued for Daniel Negreanu as in the span of one hour he went All-in twice and was beaten both times. Kid Poker was down to his last $20,000 but doubled up do give himself some much needed breathing room.

Joseph Hachem will not defend his 2005 title as he was eliminated from the tournament.

The Kid wasn't alright as Daniel Negreanu finally bowed out of the tournament. After going All-in on the preflop, Negreanu was beaten by David Woo's pair of Jacks and finished 229th.

As the day ended Jamie Gold was the chip leader with $3,320,000.
