Dia 4 Iniciado
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.

After unknown action we saw a board of when the action was on Ihar Soika. It looked as though Abdelkader Benhalima checked from the big blind to David Abreu who bet 48,000 and Soika called. From the big blind Benhalima then shoved for 201,000 total, and Abreu folded his cards.
Soika went into the tank for quite some time before folding, and Benhalima celebrated as he was pushed the pot.
"PokerNews, PokerNews," Benhalima yelled," Look."
Benhalima proudly showed his , and cheered loudly, as he asked Soika, "No ace?"
"Oh la la, no bluff, never bluff!" Benhalima continued, as his contagious chuckle had the other players laughing loudly as well.
Benhalima dodged a bullet with his pocket kings, and he's now off to a great start on Day 4.
