Today We Decide The Event #56 Champion
With just three players left, Event #56 was stopped yesterday after the end of the 30th level. While all around us the opening days of the Main Event are occuring, three men went to bed last night with a lot more on their mind than making a Day 2. Hasan Anter, Nemer Haddad, and Andy Philachack have an immediate shot at glory sitting right in front of them.
Anter leads the way on Day 4 with 8,385,000 chips. That accounts for over half of all the chips in play. Nemer Haddad holds a slight edge for second place with 3,440,000 over the 3,235,000-chip stack of Andy Philachack. There are still over 100 big blinds on the table among the three competitors so there is still enough play in the tournament for any of these three gentleman to win.
Action is set to kick off here in just a few short moments so be sure to stack around as PokerNews will have all of the action covered.
Play Yet to Begin
All three players were here, dealers were here, the lights were on and everything seemed ready to go. Except it wasn't. We're not sure why exactly but the chips have just arrived and play will likely get under way shortly.

Philachack In Trouble
Livello 31
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Hasan Anter raised from the button to 300,000 and was called by Andy Philachack in the big blind. The flop came down 
and Philachack check-called a bet of 500,000.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. The river was the 
and for the third time, Philachack checked. Anter announced a bet of 1,000,000 and after some thought Philachack made the call. Anter quickly tabled 
for a rivered full house. Philachack jumped out of his seat and paced around a bit before returning to the table to muck his cards.
Philachack is down to 1.3 million while Anter hits 10.3 million chips.
Haddad Joins the Trouble Fest
Livello 31
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Nemer Haddad limped his button, Andy Philachack folded and Hasan Anter checked his option.
The flop came down 
and both players checked. The turn was the 
and Anter bet 200,000 before Haddad raised to 900,000. Anter three-bet with an all in and Haddad let go of his hand.
Haddad is still second in chips but has just 2.55 million while Anter takes a commanding lead over his two opponents and has 11.2 million.
Andy Philachack Eliminated in 3rd Place ($345,698)
Livello 31
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Nemer Haddad limped his button again and Andy Philachack moved all in from the small blind. Hasan Anter got out of the way in the big blind before Haddad made the call to put Philachack at risk.
Haddad: 
Philachack: 
The flop came out 
which put Haddad in the lead. Philachack would need one of the two remaining three's or runner-runner straight or flush to avoid elimination. The turn gave him some hope but the 
river did him in.
While Philachack hits the rail, Haddad moves up to 4 million chips and enters the heads up match with a 3 to 1 chip disadvantage.
Anter Begins Heads Up Strong
Livello 31
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
On the button and as the small blind, Hasan Anter raised to 300,000 which was called by Nemer Hassad.
The flop came 
and both players checked. The turn was the 
and again, both players checked. The river was the 
and Hassad checked a third time before Anter threw out a bet worth 500,000. Hassad called but was unable to beat the 
of Anter.
Hassad Takes Two Big Ones

: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
On a board of 
, Nemer Hassad moved all in first to act. Hasan Anter folded and fell to 11.45 million.
A couple of hands later, the board read 
and Hassad bet all three streets. On the river his 1,400,000-chip bet was called by Anter and Hassad tabled 
. Anter was unable to beat it and now the two players have nearly identical stacks.
