WPT Legends of Poker: Final table is set
Only six players remain in the WPT Legends of Poker main event. Entering the final table on Day 5 as the chip leader will be November Niner Kevin Schaffel.
After four days of play, there are now just six players left in the WPT
Legends of Poker Championship event. James Mackey, Eugene Katchalov and
Steven Begleiter were some of the notables who didn't make it to the
final table.
Begleiter was doing well and even kept the chip lead for a while on the
previous days, but his good run ended just two steps away from the
final table, as he was eliminated in 9th place.
Schaffel leading the pack
Day 4 kicked off with the
remaining 24 players and the field slowly whittled down to the final
six. Vigen Manukyan was eliminated as the final table bubble boy when
his pocket deuces ran into Prahlad Friedman's pocket queens. Not the
best of situations and accompanied by not the most helpful board,
Manukyan had to pack his bags in 7th place.
The final table will see November Niner Kevin Schaffel taking his seat
as the chip leader with just over 2.2 million in chips. His closest
challenger Todd Terry is also above the 2.2 million mark, while the
shortest stack at the table will be Toto Leonidas with 580,000 in chips.
