Day 1 Complete

[user66118]

Today's Event #4 began with a nice field of 77 players who put up the AUD $550 to play a friendly game of H.O.R.S.E. A little less than seven hours later, that number has been reduced to the final eight who will return tomorrow to duke it out for the title. Among those who entered but went home early were Roy Vandersluis, Peter Aristidou, James Obst, Van Marcus, Joe Hachem, Sam Khouiss, and Billy "The Croc" Argyros, as well as PokerNews staff members Heath Chick and Filipe Pacheco.

Sean Arazi will take the chip lead into the final table, finishing off play with a stack of 130,500. He'll be the favorite, but Andrew Demetriou, Graeme Putt, and the rest of the final table will be ready to go, and nothing will come easy tomorrow. Here's the way the rest of the table lays out:

Sean Arazi - 130,500
Nick Georgoulas - 83,000
Abel Cabrera - 64,000
Steve Topakas - 56,500
Andrew Demetriou - 43,000
Karib Karib - 39,500
Graeme 'Kiwi G' Putt - 39,500
Kerry Stead - 20,000

Play resumes at 4:00pm local time, so join us then as we play down to the winner of Event #4!
