There are a lot of former WPT champs in today’s field but we also have a lot that got very close. Making a WPT final table is an accomplishment in itself and two are sitting next to each other at the front of the room.

Gabe Abusada came one spot short of putting his name on the Championship, finishing second to Brian Altman at the WPT Tampa final table. Ken “Teach” Aldridge is a favorite any time he shows up and he made a big splash by making the 2021 WPT Poker Showdown Championship final table, the biggest field in WPT history.
