Michael Gentili chipleader à l'issue du Jour 4, Mercier, Riess, Dibella et Josephy toujours en lice
Niveau 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Le Jour 4 du Main Event PokerStars Championship Bahamas a été écourté, le field tombant rapidement de 32 à 16 joueurs. Le Canadien Michael Gentili a pris le pouvoir sur la fin en remportant deux belles mains alors que Nick Maimone, Adrian Mateos Diaz et Byron Kaverman ont rendu les armes. Tout comme l'ultime tricolore en lice, Gaëlle Baumann.
Gentili aura 3,7 millions de jetons pour la reprise au Jour 5, soit plus de 150 blindes. Le jeune homme a de l'expérience puisqu'il a déjà terminé second d'un 5000$ WSOP pour presque 500 000$. Jason Mercier a lui besoin d'aide puisqu'il débutera l'avant dernière journée en dernière position au classement avec 340 000 soit 15 blindes à la reprise.
Gaelle Baumann a été la première sortante de la journée, elle n'a pas réussi à gratter le palier de la 31e place et termine 32e pour un gain de 14 760$. Pratyush Buddiga a suivi quelques minutes plus tard pour un gain de 19 000$ (31e). Byron Kaverman a chuté en 29e position pour le même gain que son compatriote après un gros flip perdu contre le Portugais Rodrigo Cordoba. Présent au Jour 4, Jaime Staples a perdu son 40-60 pour sa survie et s'incline lui en 27e place (19e).
Pendant ce temps là, le chipleader Nick Maimone ne faisait que perdre des coups. Mis à mal par Michael Vela, vainqueur WPT, Maimone est tombé à 30 blindes et va 4 bet all-in 
pour s'empaler sur les de Gentili. Dans le bas du classement, Gentili en profitait pour prendre la tête alors que Maimone quittait la partie en 19e position pour un gain de 24,640$.
En mode short stack ninja, le vainqueur du Main Event WSOP Europe et de l'EPT Grand Final Adrian Mateos Diaz est parvenu à accrocher une demi-finale de plus à son palmarès. Pas sûr que cette 18e place pour 24 640$ soit suffisante pour l'ambitieux espagnol...
Les survivants se retrouvent alors à la bulle du Jour 5... et c'est le moment choisi par Gentili pour remporter un pot énorme. Après avoir collé une relance UTG de Michael Bartholomew avec les 
, le patron du tournoi va envoyer trois mises sur un tableau 
. Bartholomew va hésiter un long moment rivière avant de call-muck son brelan de .
Le grinder US Rex Clinkscales sera donc l'ultime victime du Jour 4. Il va perdre une bonne partie de ses jetons en payant de grosse blinde avec 
suite à un open shove du short-stack Allon Allison avec . Tombé à 8 blindes, Clinkscales va tout mettre avec 
mais l'ancien vainqueur du PCA John Dibella va trouver deux paires au flop et une maison pleine au tournant avec .
La partie reprendra donc sur les blindes 12 000 - 24 000 (4000) avec 16 joueurs assurés de remporter 24,640$.
L'action sera à suivre dès 18 heures en streaming et sur le coverage de PokerNews. Il retse du beau monde puisque John Dibella, Cliff Josephy, Christian Harder et Ryan Riess sont encore en lice !

turn, and a 
completed the community. Gentili bet 400,000 fairly quickly when checked to. That sent Bartholomew deep into the tank.
"Set over set?" he asked. "This would be pretty sick."
He continued to mutter to himself as he tanked.
"You think I'm capped at one pair so you can get me off..."
Eventually, someone called a clock and Bartholomew ended up calling. Gentili tabled a set of tens and a disgusted Bartholomew showed he did have a set:

"I have a big hand you know," Magnus continued.
At one point she shook her head and glared to the rail. "I Just don't believe you!" she said.
Several minutes past and John Dibella asked for the clock. Still no word from Allison who had his eyes hidden behind dark shades.
The floor came over and informed Magnus she had a minute left to act on her hand. As 50 seconds had passed, the floor started the countdown from ten to zero.
With just two seconds left, Magnus pounced some chips in the middle to call it off for her tournament life.
"Ahhh!" Allison shouted, "So close!"
That was enough information for Magnus who showed 
for two pair.
"Shit! I almost had you. Just two seconds away!" Allison said.
"I think I lose" Allison said while he took one last peek at his cards.
"I need to see two hands" the dealer commented.
Allison showed 
and the pot went to Magnus.
