Partouche Poker Tour: PokerNoob and Gulliver1985 in Final 18, Nazgul 31st
Day 4 of the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event ended with just 18 players left. Two PokerStrategists are among the survivors, while Team PokerStrategy.com member Nazgul busted out in 31st place.
Nazgul picked up a €23.200 prize for finishing in 31st place, while PokerStrategists 
Gulliver1985 and 
PokerNoob (pictured right) are now guaranteed €42,000 for making it into the final 18.
Nazgul reported that he had a tough seat draw on Day 4 and could not find any good spots to play. In the end, he pushed all in from the button with 14 big blinds left and was snap called by the big blind. It was A-2 against Q-Q but Nazgul did not get the cards he needed for a double up.
