Joe Hachem (AA beat by JJ), and Beanie, eliminated.

[indieangler]

Aw man, you hijacked my WSOP thread. It's down to around 230 people and Negreanu is out now.

[Bryan]

Sorry indie. Didn't mean too. Your was speficially about Micon and so I thought a separate more general one would be good too. My apologies though.

On a separate note... Anyone know the Vegas odds on Hachem repeating as champ? I'm not trying to get ahead of myself, but what he's doing is incredible and like Raymer from last year... to make it through those fields is an incredible feat.

[indieangler]

Oh I was just teasing...you saw that Hachem is out, right? Annie Duke has a little over 700,000 chips now.

[Bryan]

Ok, so at the end of play on day 4 here are the results...

Joseph Hachem went bust and ended up in 238th place.

Daniel Negreanu also went bust and ended up in 229th place.

Aaron Bartley (GambleAB) ended up busting out in 137th place.

Still alive is Bryan Micon in 112th place with $275,000 in chips.

Also still alive and doing quite well is Annie Duke who currently sits in 26th place with $919,000 chips.

There are also a few other pros still alive like Humberto Brenes, Allen Cunningham and Jeffrey Lisandro, but other than that I really have no idea who the hell most of these people are.

Play resumes again at 3pm ET on Sunday.

Here are the current top 30...

Only a few pros that I recognize. I know there's a FT qualifier in the top 20 right now. Imagine if that kid wins it and takes the 10M on top of the 12M. Full Tilt will blow the F up.....

Imagine how much main stream press full tilt will get if one of those qualifiers wins it?

Oh what does it matter? After all my monthly ftp fees I'll still only be able to afford a pack of gum.

Cheng Yu pushes Annie Duke around and steals a $400,000 pot from her, crippling her stack and leaving her with $250,000 in chips.

[PPP]

They are nearly two days ahead of schedule. I wonder what bad idea they will come up with to deal with that.
