Championship: WPT Final Table is Set with Chipleader Ian Cohen and NFL Hall of Famer Richard Seymour

$3,500 WPT Poker Showdown Championship
Prizepool: $4,534,400 |  Payouts  |  Results
Level 30:  100,000/200,000 with a 200,000 ante
Players Remaining:  6 of 1,417

Richard Seymour
NFL Hall of Famer and Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Richard Seymour

After the elimination of Micah Raskin in seventh place, the final six players are set for tomorrow’s televised WPT Final Table. Action is scheduled to begin tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12:00 noon, with the WPT Live Stream scheduled to begin at 12:30 pm EDT.

There are only 13 seconds remaining in Level 30, with blinds at 100,000-200,000 and a big blind ante of 200,000. So the big blinds in the lineup below were calculated with the 250,000 big blind of the next level.

Here is the lineup with official chip counts:

Seat 1.  Raj Vohra  –  10,075,000  (40 bb)
Seat 2.  Ian Cohen  –  17,925,000  (72 bb)
Seat 3.  Frank Funaro  –  13,925,000  (56 bb)
Seat 4.  Richard Seymour  –  5,600,000  (22 bb)
Seat 5.  Michael Amato  –  16,200,000  (65 bb)
Seat 6.  Johnny Bromberg  –  7,100,000  (28 bb)

The chipleader is Ian Cohen with 17,925,000 (90 big blinds), but a lot of eyes are going to be on Richard Seymour, an NFL Hall of Famer with three Super Bowl rings. But Seymour has his work cut out for him, as he has the shortest chip stack with only 5,600,000 (28 big blinds).

Here are the remaining payouts at stake, followed by today’s eliminations:

1st:  $656,200 + Showdown Trophy
2nd:  $430,000
3rd:  $320,000
4th:  $240,000
5th:  $181,000
6th:  $138,000

7th:  Micah Raskin  –  $106,000
8th:  Vito DiStefano  –  $82,000

9th:  Eugene Katchalov  –  $65,000
10th:  Dylan Smith  –  $65,000

11th:  Justin Fawcett  –  $54,000
12th:  Jacob Bell  –  $54,000

13th:  Will Failla  –  $46,000
14th:  Chris Audrain  –  $46,000
15th:  Farid Jattin  –  $46,000

16th:  John McDonald  –  $38,500

Return to SHRPO.com tomorrow at 12:00 noon for the exciting conclusion to the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship.
