27 SURVIVORS AT WPT

27 April 2007

Lee is the man to watch

With 27 survivors remaining from the original starting field of 639, Day 4 of the World Poker Tour championship showcased tough, no-quarter poker with players all well within the money bubble, and that $4 million winner's prize so close it could be almost tasted.

The tension in the Fontana Room at the Bellagio in Las Vegas was at times almost tangible, and it was Paul Lee who finally ended up as the day's top dog with a chip stack of $3 600 000 - well ahead of the previous leader Phil Hellmuth who had dropped to 18th position with a stack of $738 000 by the time play ended.

Day 4 of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship at the Bellagio ended dramatically with Richard Anthony eliminating Tom Schrieber in 28th place after a gruelling confrontation.

Among the 27 survivors who will assemble for Day 5 are Carlos Mortensen, Scott Fischman, Paul Wasicka, and Roland De Wolfe.

Departing the scene and joining the roll call of defeated champions were players like World Poker Tour chairman Lyle Berman, Jared Hamby and Patrik Antonius.
