Another day of play has come to an end at Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. A field of 668 entrants has been narrowed down to 36 players after three days of intensive play. The player with the largest stack heading into Day 4 is Sal Fazzino of Australia. Fazzino, who's been around the live scene for several years but still has no major score to his name, took the chip lead in the last hand of the day...
It was the perfect set-up for Fazzino who held J
J
against Gareth Dwyer with 4
4
. The flop came down K
J
4
and both players shoved on the 5
turn. The river card wasn't a 4 so Dwyer was sent packing.
It will be interesting to see if Fazzino has what it takes to make it to the final table though. He can't afford any mistakes as he will be joined to Day 4 by several big names in the poker world, including Scott Seiver, Sorel Mizzi, Jonathan Duhamel, Erik Seidel, Jason Mercier and Liv Boeree. No matter how things turn out tomorrow, it looks like we will have some well-known faces on the final table - battling it out for the top prize of AUD$1,600,000!
