Players Remaining: 659 of 2,010
The 2022 WPT Poker Showdown Championship drew 2,010 entries over the two starting flights, the second-biggest WPT main tour event in their history behind only this tournament last year. They played through ten levels on opening day and 659 return today at noon to begin playing down to the WPT final table.
The tournament blasted the $3,000,000 guarantee and put together a prize pool worth $6,432,000. The last 252 will make the money so they have a lot of work to do to get there.
Christian Harder is the front-runner coming back with Dave Moore, Andrew Heckman, Justin Liberto, and Jason Weaver filling in the top five. Defending champ Brek Schutten is still in the mix trying to go back-to-back and Brian Altman can win his fourth WPT title.
Cards go back in the air with blinds at 1,500/2,500/2,500 and the average stack is about 153,500 (61 bb). They are scheduled to play 10 levels today at one hour each.
