Vincent Chauve Leads the Field on Day 4; Igor Yaroshevskyy Still in Contention
Welcome to Day 4 of Event #50: Monster Stack - $1,500 No Limit Hold’em.
Action on Day 3 started from the moment the first cards hit the felt, with almost 200 of the 457 players that returned hitting the rail in the first two levels of play. Kainalu McCue-Unciano, who went into Day 3 as the chip leader, was responsible for a good number of those bust outs. McCue-Unciano started the day with just over 2,000,000 in chips, but by the dinner break had built his stack to over 16,000,000 thanks to an amazing run of cards. Unfortunately, McCue-Unciano's fortunes changed in the latter parts of Day 3, especially during the last level of play, and he bagged 3,750,000 going into Day 4.
Forty-nine players will return to take their seats on Day 4, and Vincent Chauve, who amassed a good portion of his stack during the last two levels of play yo bag a very impressive 22,000,000 in chips, returns as the start-of-day chip leader. Bryan Kim (17,725,000), Anthony Kazgandjian (15,700,000), Ramiro Petrone (13,900,000), and Andre Haneberg (12,725,000) round out the top five. Andrew Moreno, Bart Hanson, Kevin Roster, Tom Koral and Igor Yaroshevskyy will also be returning to take their seats at the start of Day 4.
