Timofeev chipleader, Abdellatif & Kaverman au Jour 5, Alex Viard 16e
Niveau 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ils ne sont plus que 12 en lice à l'issue du Jour 4 du Main Event PokerStars Championship Panama à 5300$. Ils étaient 30 sur 366 à revenir samedi soir et le dernier tricolore a été éliminé. Alexandre VIard termine finalement 16e pour 16 080$.
Le Jour 4 s'est étalé sur 6 heures de jeu et les 12 rescapés sont désormais menés par Denis Timofeev. Le Russe a 2,07 millions de jetons soit un peu plus de 120 blindes alors que la moyenne du tournoi est toujours de 57bb. Timofeev est en lice pour son plus gros cash, lui dont la meilleure performance reste une victoire à 5 chiffres sur un side EPT à 2000€ lors de l'EPT Malte.
Le chipleader à l'entame du Jour 4 est toujours en bonne position pour espérer remporter les 293,860$ de la première place. James Salmon (1,612,000) est accompagné par l'ancien patron du GPI, Byron Kaverman(1,236,000), un vainqueur High Roller EPT Kenny Smaron (1,104,000) ou encore le tombeur d'Adrien Allain Michael Lech (457,000) et le Belge Jonathan Abdellatif (670 000).

Le Jour 4 avait débuté avec les sorties de Jason Wheeler et Jason Koon. Wheeler a perdu un flip, Koon a fait tapis dans les 
...
Pedro Pollino (27e - 12,480$), Samuel Gagnon (26e - 12,480$) et Caufman Talley (24e - 12,480$) ont précédé la légende du MMA Tito Ortiz dans le rail. Le combattant termine finalement 22e pour un gain de 16 080$. "Je me sens toujours comme un amateur, j'ai tout donné. [...] Felipe Ramos m'a montré beaucoup de choses, c'est un coach génial", a expliqué celui qui jouait le 2e tournoi de sa vie et a finalement perdu un flip contre Byron Kaverman.
Dernière femme en lice, Jessica Perez Borrego s'incline elle en 21e place. Roman Pavliuk (20e - 16,080$), Alberto Meran Matias (19e - 16,080$), le dernier Français Alexandre Viard (16e - 16,080$) et Vasyl Vertianov (15e - 20,860$) n'ont pas réussi à atteindre l'avant dernière marche.
Les dernières mains ont aussi été fatales au double vainqueur WSOP Mark Radoja, dont les 
n'ont pas été d'un grand secours face aux 
de Smaron, et au Mexicain JC Alvarado qui n'a pas trouvé son tirage couleur, payé par un Wozniczek embusqué.
Le Jour 5 débutera à midi heure locale, 18 heures en France, sur les blindes 8000-16000 (2000). L'action sera à suivre sur PokerNews et aussi en streaming avec Julien Brécard et Gabriel Nassif aux commentaires.
