Down to the final three tables, blinds are 20k/40k with a 5k ante, and Fossilman's still in it, in fourth place with 3 million chips, which gives him about a 1-in-19 chance of winning the whole thing if the remaining players are evenly matched. 10th through 27th pays between $300k and $600k; final table players are guaranteed $1M each, and first place is $7.5 million. And ESPN has to be salivating at the fact that the chip leader is Mike Matusow, whose confrontation with Raymer last year made for great television and left Matusow in tears. Best web source for news appears to be Pokerwire.

Anyone know if the Tiffany Williamson of London who's the last woman left in the tournament is the same one who's at Davis Polk's London office now and graduated Columbia Law in 1999?

Defending champion Greg Raymer has amazingly clinched a six-digit payday; he even started today in first place, but lost half of his stack on a couple of bad hands, and is now faced with an slightly-above-average-sized stack at the end of Day 4 with eighty-odd players left, about 750,000 in chips, down from a million at the beginning of the day, and 1.5 million mid-day. Of course, after winning last year, he doesn't need investors any more, so this time he'll get to keep his entire after-tax winnings.
