WSOP Poker Players Championship Day 4 is over and what a story we have?! For only the second time in WSOP history,  we have brothers lining up on the final table together.

The Mizrachi brothers have made it to the final table of a World Series poker tournament. Only the second time this feat has been achieved since the UK's Boatman brothers( Ross and Barny) in 2002. A remarkable performance from Michael & Robert, has seen them outlast a top quality field to reach the last eight of the $50,000 tourney. Amazing scenes from the Rio All-Suite Hotel in Vegas, where the twenty-one strong field has been cropped down to the final eight.

The play resumes tomorrow at 3pm ET and among the contenders for the crown of the Poker Player's Championship are: David Baker, Mikael Thuritz, David Oppenheim, Daniel Alaei, Vladimer Schmelev, John Juanda and of course the Mizrachi brothers. Chip leader is currently Robert Mizrachi with just over $3.1 million, but it is quite a even spread on the final table, with only Oppenheim needing to make some quick moves back on $460,000 in chips. Play wrapped up for the day after the unfortunate 'Bubble' man Kirk Morrison bowed out in 9th, taking with him $98,330.

Seat 1: David Baker (USA) - 3,095,000
