Three quick days in Connecticut and we're already down to the final 27 players at the WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals.

Reigning WPT Player of the Year Andy Frankenberger takes the chip lead into Sunday's play. Frankenberger has been leading or flirting with the chip lead for most of the tournament, he is certainly going to try and further his lead during Day 4. He currently holds a 175K chip lead on second place Jack Schanbacher - Schanbacher accumulated a lot of chips when he eliminated David "Doc" Sands earlier today.

Two-time WPT winner Jonathan Little (including a win in this event during Season 7) currently sits fifth in chips, while Christian Harder, Chris Klodnicki, Hoyt Corkins (sans cowboy hat), recent Borgata Deep Stacks champ Matt Glantz and Matt Stout all hold above average chip stacks.

The aforementioned Harder made sure we would be getting a new champion at Foxwoods, he eliminted 2010 World Poker Finals champion Jeff Forrest (pictured) during today's play - no back-to-back jacks for Forrest.
