$3,500 WPT Poker Showdown Championship
$2,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 27: 50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 ante
Players Remaining: 21 of 2,482

A record 2,482 entries turned up for the 2021 WPT Poker Showdown Championship and the tournament is down to the last 21 trying to make the televised final table in Las Vegas. Only six of these players will book a seat and the remaining field is stacked with talented players.

Albert Calderon returns with the chip lead but with the average stack at 47 bb, anybody can catch him. Notables will pack the last three tables while Blair Hinkle has a chance to make history; he captured the 2013 SHRPO title, our biggest Championship field before this tournament and he’s still here with a shot to do it again.

Cards go back in the air at noon and they will play 90-minute levels until the Championship is down to the last six players.
