Day 4 of the 2009 Main Event Underway Soon

Day 4 of the 2009 WSOP Main Event begins in just under one hour here at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. We will begin the day in Level 15. The blinds will start at $2,000/$4,000 with a $500 ante. The average chip stack in the room is $246,920. We had our first player, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier soar to over a million chips last night and he comes into the day as the chip leader with $1,380,500.
