Finding the winner of the PartyPoker WPT event is still a job for the pin but good to see two of pokers nice guys wearing the yellow jerseys as they prepare for Day 4. Mark Newhouse went from rags to riches in September 06 with his $1.5m windfall from a victory in a WPT event at the Borgata. The win brought him some new friends who hacked and hustled him back to zero. A six figure win at the Bellagio two years later helped refloat the sinking ship and we see a wiser and fitter Newhouse take the lead.

I should have picked him from Day1 but my dark horse of the $10k heads up Chris Moore is now taking over from my namesake who was eliminated today. Chris is in second place.My other selection from yesterday Brett Richey is in 43rd place.

All the players are in the money.Play resumes around high noon on Monday.
