24 playeres returned for the 4th day of the WPT Championship Main Event. The WPT Canadian Spring CHampion Amir Babakhani lead the field with 1,220,000 chips. The aim for the day was to reduce the field to the 15 money places and get close to the 6-handed final table.
The bubble bursted with the elimination of Hyon Kim. The South-Korean player went all-in with pocket tens against Dan Shak's pocket queens, the neutral board favoured Shak. Then, Steven Silverman finished 14th, Byron Kaverman 13, and Dan Shak 11 as far as big names go.
The last eliminated player of the day came to be the former chipleader Amir Babakhani. In the hand, Matt Hyman opened to 50,000 from UTG+1 (20th blind level, 4,000-12,000/24,000), Chino Rheem raised to $125,000, Babakhani went all-in with 470,000, Hyman folded, Rheem called.
