Big Names Bust Early at Day 4 of WSOPE Main Event

Following the trend established at this summer's WSOP Main Event at the Rio, what looked like a potentially star-studded final few tables at the 2007 WSOPE diminished quickly today, as former chip leaders Patrik Antonius and Lanne Jamsa Janne Lamsa, as well as Erick Lindgren, Marco Traniello, and Jamie Gold (yesterday) all busted early once the money bubble burst.

Even more distressing is our chip leader is now Annette Obrestad, who is a woman. Annette is currently stacked at 726,000. She's followed by Theo Jorgensen at 605,000.

Still in contention are Gus Hansen (375,000), Annie Duke, a woman (262,000), and Kenny Tran (62,000).

Only 21 remain. Get live reporting updates here.

UPDATE: Annie Duke, a woman but not a woman from Duke like Vanessa Rousso, has been eliminated. Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad, who is also a woman, is up to 902,000.

UPDATE II: Annette Obrestad, a woman, took a huge hit and is now just under 400k.
