Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey have had a lock on the the top two spots for the last couple of hours during Day 4 of the WPT LA Poker Classic, but no longer. Enter online pokerer Blair "blur5f6" Hinkle.

The 22-year-old from Kansas City just took out a player, relieving him of just over 600k in chips. The jump puts Hinkle in second place, inserted between the two Phils, a position we're sure is uncomfortable for all involved.

There are now 23 players remaining and we have hit the dinner break. Five more busts and we're dunzo for the day. Maybe we'll head out and experience the legendary LA nightlife and try to catch a glimpse of some sort of celebrity. The real kind, not just poker ones.

Stay tuned for more live updates from the WPT LA Poker Classic.
