Event #7: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em
The final day of this event saw 5 amateurs who combined for $2,968 in WSOP earnings and five established pros with more than $4 million in combined earnings. After several hours of play, Matt Waxman and Eric Baldwin were the last men standing and Waxman had 3.1 million to Baldwin's 2.4 million. The two would battle for, believe it or not, 187 hands over the course of almost seven hours before a winner finally had been decided.

It took about seven hours of play for 24 players to become 8 in Day 4 of the EPT Snowfest Main Event. PokerStars Pro Richard Toth was one of the first players who were sent packing. However, his teammate Johannes Strassmann made it to the final table with a 2,034,000 stack (4th place).

Allan Baekke (picture), the chip leader as Day 4 started, continued playing good, if not even better, in day 4 of the tournament. He now has a stack of 4,868,000 chips and is the big favorite to take home the tournament.
