The final nine players are back in action for the final table of the $5,250 SHRPO Championship. They are still in Level 27, with blinds at 40,000/80,000 and a big-blind ante of 80,000. Levels will be 90 minutes until there are two players left, and then heads-up levels will be 60 minutes.

Everything is set and ready to go, so it’s time to shuffle up and deal!

The $5,250 SHRPO Championship is once again headlining the Big 4 final tables on Tuesday, with a total prizepool worth more than $4.4 million, and $771,444 waiting for the 2018 SHRPO Champion.

The final nine players have combined live tournament earnings worth more than $25 million, though almost half of it comes from just one player — Joseph Cheong. Cheong is also one of two players at this table who were part of the WSOP November Nine; Cheong finished third in 2010, and Jeremy Ausmus finished fifth in 2012.

They’ll be back in action at 1:00 pm EDT, where the action will be live-streamed on a 30-minute delay and recorded for later broadcast as part of Poker Night in America.

Seat 1:  Joseph Cheong
Chip Count – 1,265,000

Joseph Cheong is likely the most famous player at the table, with more than $12.5 million in live tournament earnings, plus another $3.2 million online where he is known as “subiime.” Perhaps best known for finishing third in the 2010 WSOP Main Event, Cheong has 13 tournament victories on his resume, including a victory here four months ago when he won the $1,100 NLHE Turbo event at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown.

Seat 2:  Marcos Exterkotter
Chip Count –  4,370,000

Marcos Exterkotter is a businessman from Brazil, but he has done fairly well in the poker world with more than $192,000 in tournament earnings, which include four WSOP cashes, two WPT cashes, and a fourth-place finish at an LAPT final table. In 2016, he made it to Day 6 of the WSOP Main Event, finishing 75th to earn $80,721.

Seat 3:  Adam Adler
Chip Count – 3,745,000

Adam Adler is a 34-year-old local player from Miami, Florida, with more than $700,000 in live tournament earnings. Adler has two six-figure cashes at the World Series of Poker, with his biggest coming this past summer when he finished second in Event #2, the $10,000 NLHE Super Turbo Bounty.

Seat 4:  Ryan D’Angelo
Chip Count – 3,810,000

Ryan D’Angelo is a professional poker player with more than $3.1 million in live tournament earnings, and plenty more online where he’s known as “g0lfa.” D’Angelo’s poker resume is a long one, with seven WSOP final tables, three online WCOOP bracelets, two WPT Final Tables, a WSOP bracelet, and a fourth-place finish at the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) main event that earned him $700,000. D’Angelo is also passionate about health and nutrition, focused on a plant-based diet.

Seat 5:  Stoyan Obreshkov
Chip Count – 6,540,000

Born and raised in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Stoyan Obreshkov has more than $600,000 in live tournament earnings, with his biggest cash coming in the 2017 WSOP Monster Stack, where he finished 11th to earn $75,915. Obreshkov also finished 21st in the 2017 WSOP Europe Main Event.

Seat 6:  Jeremy Ausmus
Chip Count – 4,090,000

Jeremy Ausmus is no stranger to poker fans after he finished fifth in the 2012 WSOP Main Event as part of the November Nine on ESPN. But the $2.15 million he earned there is less than half of his career earnings of $5.28 million — Ausmus has 10 six-figure-or-better scores on his resume, including a WSOP bracelet in 2013.

Seat 7: Ido Ashkenazi
Chip Count –   1,470,000

Born in Israel and currently living in Florida, Ido Ashkenazi is a former locksmith with more than $565,000 in career live tournament earnings. His best cash came right here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at SHRPO in 2016, when he finished second in Event #10 ($570 NLHE) to earn $158,304. He won a similar event here at SHRPO in 2015, a $570 NLHE Double Black Chip Bounty.

Seat 8:  Jared Griener
Chip Count –  3,975,000

Jared Griener may look like he’s part of the “young gun” generation of poker players who started in college, but he’s a former sales manager who’s only been playing professionally for the past three years. In that time, he’s already accumulated more than $1.3 million in career earnings, and his biggest cash came in the 2017 WPT L.A. Poker Classic, where he finished third for $431,340. Griener also has two more top-eight finishes at WPT events, along with a WSOP final table.

Seat 9:  Brandon Eisen
Chip Count – 7,330,000

Born in Hawaii and currently living in Las Vegas as a professional poker player, Brandon Eisen had more than $740,000 in career live tournament, earnings, including three six-figure cashes. His best result was finishing third in the $1,111 WSOP Little One for One Drop in 2014, earning $283,895, and this is his fifth cash and second final table of this SHRPO series.
