There was a quick run to the exit after the blinds went up with Srdjan Urosev, Phil Hui, and Daniel Sepiol getting paid. That set up the final table bubble and they got there when Brett Apter got it all in against Steven Richardson.
Richardson: Apter:
It was a race and the dealer put an ace in the window but it was followed by a five on the flop. Things got interesting when Apter made two pair on the turn but he was sent out in 11th after the river.
Tournament staff paused the clock and player are redrawing seats for the final table.
11th: Brett Apter – $3,676 12th: Daniel Sepiol – $3,676 13th: Phil Hui – $3,066 14th: Srdjan Urosev – $3,066

Action folded to Steven Richardson, he moved all in for 153,000 and Loni Harwood called in the big blind.

We missed the preflop action but it was worth noting how a big hand ended. There was a three-way all in between Michael Rossitto on the button, Charles Davis in the small blind, and Brett Apter in the big.
Davis had the shortest stack and at risk for 36,000. Apter was next with around 160,000 and Rossitto had them both covered.
Davis: Apter: Rossitto:
Davis was ahead and smacked the flop. His set was in the lead and he held for a triple after the turn and river. Davis picked up the main pot and Apter earned a rebate with his two pair ace and kings. Rossitto was knocked down near the felt and eliminated on the next hand.
Charles Davis – 119,000 (15 bb) Brett Apter – 224,000 (28 bb) Michael Rossitto – Eliminated in 18th Place ($2,616)

With the board complete and reading , Daniel Sepiol checked, Duff Charette 35,000 and Sepiol checked-raised to 300,000. That was enough to cover Charette’s remaining 213,000 and he took his time to think it through.
After a couple of minutes, Charette dropped in a calling stack and Sepiol flipped over . Charette quickly flipped over his for top-top to double.

The WSOP Circuit series success continued on Wednesday when the $1,125 buy-in Event 4 field took the $50,000 guarantee and ran the prize pool up to $227,000. There are 34 players returning for Day 2 this afternoon all aiming for a piece of that cash along with a WSOPC ring.
Daniel Sepiol leads the return but a lot of eyes will be on second place Loni Harwood. The two-time WSOP bracelet champion is going for her sixth WSOPC ring and has a great shot to get there.
But there is a lot of talent still in the game besides those two including Justin Zaki, Ralph Massey, Arkadiy Tsinis, Alex Rocha, David DiBernardi, and reigning WSOP Poker Players Champion Phil Hui.
Cards go back in the air at 2 pm with levels last one hour and continuing until we have an Event 4 champion.
