$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale
Level 24: 20,000/40,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining: 6 of 342
Average Stack: 2,280,000 (56 big blinds)

The final table of the $10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale is set and Richard Leger is pacing the remaining six players to lead the field with 4,010,000 in chips.

The day started with 27 players who were all in the money, but one-by-one, players hit the rail until only six remained.

Eddy Sabat, Ari Engel, Tim West, David Paredes, Jon Turner, Seminole Hard Rock Team Member Justin Zaki, Adam Levy, Jonthan Little and Anthony Zinno were just a few of the notables who hit the rail before the re-draw for the final 10 players.

Zinno made the deepest run of the group, finishing 11th for $58,210. When the re-draw took place, there were three WPT Champions Club members, but Dietrich Fast and Jared Jaffee hit the rail in 10th and 8th place. Fast earned $58,210 and Jaffee netted $88,125 for their finishes.

That leaves Chino Rheem as the only remaining WPT Champion at the final table, who will go into the final table second in chips.

Rheem has two WPT titles to his name after taking down the $25,000 WPT World Championship in 2013 and the $15,000 WPT Bellagio Five Diamond Poker Classic in 2008. With a win in this event, he would become just the fourth player with three WPT titles. He would join the elite company of Anthony Zinno, Carlos Mortensen and Gus Hansen.

Bryan Piccioli comes in as the short stack, but is making his second WPT final table in as many months after finishing third in last month’s WPT Bay 101 final table.

The final six have Wednesday off and start the final table at noon on Thursday, which will be live streamed on WPT.com.

Seat 1: Chino Rheem – 3,430,000
