$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 28: 30,000/60,000/10,000 Ante
Day 4 has come to a close in the WPT Championship event at the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open and just six players remain from the 1,027 that entered. It was a relatively short march to the final table on Tuesday and play ended a little before 9 p.m. ET. The quick finish at the end was due in large part to the presence of two dominating stacks.
The chip leader at the end of play was Mark Dube with 11,620,000. He is closely trailed by Brian Altman, who bagged up 10,330,000. The next largest stack is held by Kelly Minkin with 3,780,000, so you can see how the majority of the remaining chips in play have navigated to two players. It will set up an interesting table dynamic when cards get into the air tomorrow.
Here is a look at the seating chart and chip counts for the final day.
Seat 1: Brian Altman – 10,330,000
