A number of prominent players fell on Day 4, including Phil Ivey, who eventually finished in 23rd place for $40,000 AUD.
Ivey's final hand came during a confrontation against Australian Anthony Legg. The two players got all-in after a flop of 4h-Qh-3h and turned over:
Ivey - Qd-Kh
Legg - Ah-Kd
Ivey was ahead with his pair of Queens though Legg held the nut flush draw. The turn brought the 9 of Hearts and Ivey was sent to the rail in 23rd place.

The main event will have a day off on Saturday and return on Sunday afternoon local time. Saturday will feature the conclusion of the $100,000 Challenge, which is currently being led by Ole Schemion.
