Ryan Fair Is The Chip Leader Heading Into Day 4 Of The Festa al Lago, But Does He Want It?
It was another shocking day to be the chip leader at the WPT's Festa al Lago. On day two it was Antonio Esfandiari with a massive chip lead that was crippled by Day 3 chip leader Daniel Negreanu and then yesterday Ryan Fair returned the favor to Daniel.
In an interview with Amanda Leatherman early in the day Negreanu said ?I was thinking about the day before -- Antonio. And then like his thought's were coming true Negreanu found himself in a hand against Ryan Fair.
Daniel holding AK sees a flop of A - K - 7 and leads in with a bet of 22,000 into a pot of 55,000. Ryan Fair then makes a double the pot raise of 160,000. Negreanu was visibly confused with this bet and even questions Ryan aloud "Why so much?". After thinking about it for a few minutes Negreanu decides to move all and is insta called by Fair who is holding 7 - 7 and has bottom set. The board fails to bring another ace
or king and the former chip leader is dropped to the bottom of the leader board with only 98,000 in chips.
Only 50 minutes later it was the end of Negreanu's day and another fellow Canadian who was on top of the leader board when the day started in Jennifer Tilly. Negreanu and Ted Lawson busted out on the same hand and Jennifer Tilly who had started her final hand on another table all busted at the same time and will share the 50th place money.
The eliminations were not done there as fifteen more players were eliminated from the tournament including Doyle Brunson, David Chiu and Beth Shak. The day started with 104 players but by the end of day three only 34 remain.
Two Canadian players are still in the top ten and both are experienced professionals in Nenad Medic in 5th overall and Brad "Yukon" Booth in 8th place.
Action resumes later today at 12:00pm PT where the battle will continue until the final six players remain. Be sure to check back tomorrow as we will update you with the results for the tournament and are Canadian players.
