With just 18 players remaining everyone entering today has a decent shot at making the World Poker Tour Prague final table. The favorite heading into Day 4 is without a doubt Moldovan Pavel Plesuv, who takes 1.2 million chips with him to the action. Pavel Veksler is the only other player with more than a million chips, while accomplished pros Sergio Aido, Ihar Soika and Steve O'Dwyer are also in good shape.
The goal today is to get down to a final table of six, and PokerNews will be right there with you for all your live coverage.
