Day 4 of partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North America Main Event Sees Danick Landriault Leading Final 16 Players
Welcome back to the 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North America, and the Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada, for Day 4 of the CA$10,300 Main Event.
The 521-player field is now down to just the final two tables of 16 players ready to battle it out on the penultimate day of play. An action-packed Day 3 saw a flurry of eliminations once the bubble was burst, and as the likes of Sergio Aido (60th), Manig Loeser (58th), Brandon Hall (54th), Marc-Andre Ladouceur (46th), Daniel Neilson (42nd), Griffin Benger (39th), Sam Grafton (33rd), Maurice Hawkins (25th), Will Givens (24th), Dietrich Fast (23rd), Tony Ruberto (20th), and Bryn Kenney (18th) all fell to the rail short of a Day 4 berth.
Leading the final 16 players is Canadian Danick Landriault who catapulted up the leaderboard when he eliminated Philipe Pizzari Pinto in 21st place with a flopped full house versus an overpair. Landriault ran into some trouble running into a full house, but fought back near the end of the day to finish with 97.2 million in chips - good for a final table average chip stack.
Also still in contention is Day 2 chip leader Kevin Rabichow who finished with 45,475,000 to be ahead of partypoker pro Joni Jouhkimainen (44,750,000) and John Cayley (44,525,00) who are the only players above the 40 million-chip mark.
