Among them are Jesse Lonis (2,520,000), John Hennigan (2,150,000), Alex Livingston (1,795,000), Nacho Barbero (1,620,000), Kristen Fox (1,320,000) and the always remarkable Phil Ivey — who will have a lot to do with his below-average 650,000.
A new Main Event Champion will be crowned as the last remaining champions failed on day four. Defending champion Daniel Weinman left the company shortly after the money bubble burst. Joe McKeehen (who was the last champion left) dropped out late in the day after he flipped against Jeffrey Copeland.
Other celebrities who could not keep up on the fourth day are Daniel Negreanu, Koray Aldemir, Cody Daniel, Santhosh Suvarna, Ari EngelAnd Tom Dwan — who was eliminated after going all-in with a set and losing to a river flush. Jan Arends.
