Welcome to PokerNews' Day 4 coverage of Event #47, the $111,111 One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em. After three days and 28 levels, four players remain in the quest to capture one of the most prestigious titles in World Series of Poker history, a coveted WSOP gold bracelet, and the $4,830,619 first-place prize.
Leading the way is Bill Perkins with 14.7 million. Perkins took the chip lead on the penultimate hand of Day 3, doubling through Antonio Esfandiari.. Anthony Gregg is second in chips with 13.9 million. With six players remaining, Gregg found himself as the short stack. However, after winning a race against Perkins and eliminating Martin Jacobson in sixth place, Gregg vaulted into the chip lead at the time. Chris Klodnicki held the chip lead for a good portion of Day 3 and finds himself third in chips with 12 million. Rounding out the remaining four players is none other than Antonio Esfandiari, last year's Big One for One Drop winner, with 9.2 million. Esfandiari was in the lead for majority of the final table on Day 3 before Perkins' late double up.
It's still anybody's game and we'll be here to provide you hand-for-hand coverage of the conclusion to this historic tournament. Play is set to resume at 1 p.m. local time, about 25 minutes from now, so follow along to see who captures this prestigious title!

Esfandiari:
"It's a fair fight!" Perkins stood and yelled when the hands were tabled.
True enough, the two were racing, and Esfandiari remained in the lead when the flop fell . Klodnicki held backdoor straight and flush draws, but both of them were extinguished when the turned.
Esfandiari was strolling around the stage, one card away from a much-needed double, and the crowed hushed as the fell on the river. Stunned, Esfandiari threw his hands on top of his head and walked slowly to where his seat had been. After a few handshakes, the still shell-shocked Esfandiari left the mothership, and a massive, 20 million-chip pot was pushed Klodnicki's way.
