Daniel Retallick is now close to one million in chips after taking out an opponent in one of the first hands on table 287.
As Retallick recounted to us (as he was still stacking up his chips), the opponent had moved the last of his money into the middle with 
, but Retallick called with 
and it was off to the races.
Retallick picked up a boatload of outs with the 
flop, but the turn and river came running kings to give him trips instead. Could you have hit that board any harder?

John Strzemp's Day 4 is done. In the context of the WSOP Main Event, Strzemp is of course best remembered for having finished runner-up to Stu Ungar in 1997 at the one and only WSOP ME final table played outdoors.
Today Strzemp entered play with but 27,000 chips. He dropped about a third of that on the first hand after calling a raise then letting go his hand to a flop bet. He folded Hand #2. Then, on the third hand, Nikita Nikolaev opened with a raise to 9,000 from middle position, and Strzemp committed his last 16,500 with a reraise from a couple of seats over. It folded back around and Nikolaev made the call.
Strzemp showed 
, but Nikolaev had the edge with his 
. That edge increased following the 
flop, giving Nikolaev a set. The on the turn provided hope to Strzemp, but the 
fell on the river, and Strzemp leaves us, having failed in his attempt to score a fourth career ME cash.
Cards are in the air for the start of Day 4.

Tournament officials fully expect to hit the money bubble somewhere around halfway through today's schedule. Those that make the money will be guaranteed at least $19,935. One of the signature moments of the Main Event is hand for hand play at the money bubble. The very unfortunate player that finishes in 694th place will receive the usual prize of a buy-in for next year's Main Event.
Day 4 will also feature live streaming coverage through ESPN3, and you can expect camera crews to be out in full force again. Their task will be a bit easier will players in the Amazon Room through the Orange, Purple and Blue sections.
The day is scheduled for four levels of action before Day 4 survivors bag and tag their chips for Day 5. Follow all the Main Event action here at Pokernews.com.
Day 4 is upon us in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event and we're sure everyone would like to know the table and seat draw to begin the day. You can find that seat draw here, complete with everyone's chip count.
