Day 4 of the 2026 WSOPE Main Event, which is being held at the King’s Casino at the Hilton Prague

República Checa
, reduced the field from 85 survivors to just 25 players, getting closer and closer to the showdown for the coveted bracelet and the top prize of €2.000.000.

For the Latin army, the day marked the end of the road. Diego Oshiro

Perú
, the last Spanish-speaking representative standing, was eliminated in 70th place, securing a cash of €22.500 and thus closing the Armada’s participation in the tournament.

At the top of the count appear two names that dominated Wednesday’s action: Hengtao Zhu

Finlandia
, leader with 16.395.000 chips, and Brandon Sheils
Reino Unido
, very close with 15.935.000. The two are the only ones to surpass the 100 big blind barrier heading into Day 5.

Zhu is, without a doubt, the big surprise of the event. With just US$39.361 in live cashes according to The Hendon Mob, the Finn is starring in the tournament of his life. During Day 4 he showed an outstanding level, even receiving praise from figures like Chris Hunichen

Estados Unidos
, who defined him as “too good” at the table. His rise included key hands, such as when he crushed the set of tens of Johan Espholm

on a board with four cards of the same suit, and then capitalized on a classic kings vs. queens cooler against Roberto Romanello
