The eighth day of the partypoker 2017 Caribbean Poker Party<\/strong> saw the $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event reduced to only 12 players, while the $5,300 MILLIONS Finale had its field whittled down to 26 players.<\/p>\n

MILLIONS Main Event<\/h3>\n

Canada\u2019s Sam Greenwood<\/strong> is the man in control of the Main Event having ended Day 4 of the $5 million guaranteed tournament with 193,900,000 chips, almost 80 million more than his nearest rival.<\/p>\n

It has been a profitable trip to Punta Cana for Greenwood because he finished third in the $10,300 High Roller<\/strong> for $124,100 and was the runner-up in the $25,500 Super High Roller<\/strong> for an additional $242,750. Now, Greenwood has the chance to get his hands on a seven-figure score, which would round of his trip perfectly.<\/p>\n

Eleven players stand between Greenwood and glory, one of them being the partypoker patch sporting Jason Koon<\/strong>. The 93,800,000 chips in Koon\u2019s stack are enough to see him return to the tables in fifth-place, nicely poised to reach the final table, and once that is reached, who knows where Koon could finish.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Day 4 of the MILLIONS Main Event was the last time we will see our other members of Team partypoker. Joao Simao<\/strong> crashed out in 38th place for $27,500 and Richard Dubini<\/strong> bust in 30th place for $30,000. partypoker Chairman and all-round poker legend Mike Sexton<\/strong> fell in 24th place for $34,000, which is the same sum that Charlie Godwin<\/strong> received for her incredible 19th place finish.<\/p>\n

The final 12 players return to their seats at 12:00 p.m. local time and play will continue until the eight-handed final table is reached. Play will then resume at the final table at 4:00 p.m. local time and will be live streamed, on a 30-minute delay, on the partypoker Twitch channel.<\/p>\n

MILLIONS Finale: Tom Waters Second in Chips<\/h3>\n

While the MILLIONS Main Event was in play, the MILLIONS Finale was also marching towards a conclusion and now only 26 players remain in the hunt for the $250,000 first place prize.<\/p>\n

One of those returnees is the partypoker Head of Poker Tom Waters<\/strong> who has a healthy stack of 15,700,000 chips, enough for second place on the leaderboard. There is no doubt that Waters will have plenty of support both in Punta Cana and back home.<\/p>\n

Waters will be joined on the final day\u2019s play by Team partypoker members Anatoly Filatov<\/strong> (7,900,000), Roberto Romanello<\/strong> (5,900,000), and Kristen Bicknell<\/strong> (2,550,000)<\/p>\n

Leading the final 26 back into battle is Moldova\u2019s Pavel Plesuv<\/strong> with 21,950,000 chips. Plesuv has more than $1.4 million in live tournament cashes and will be a difficult opponent to push from top spot now that he has a big stack at his disposal.<\/p>\n
