$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale
Level 23: 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining: 6 of 349

The WPT live-stream stage will be put to use again today as six players return to the meeting room for the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Finale final table.

The freeze-out tournament drew 349 players, 44 of them made the money, and six tough players remain with a shot at the WPT title for over $700,000.

Those six players have combined for nearly $30,000,000 in career earnings with a WSOP Main Event champ and WPT champ still in contention.

Alan Sternberg won the 2011 Bay101 Shooting Star event and he will kick off the final table with the chip lead. He’s followed by 2013 WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess, 2016 WSOP November Niner (and two-time bracelet winner) Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy, 2016 SHRPO champ Jason Koon, poker pro Tim West, and Aussie Million trophy winner Terry Schumacher.

It’s a tough lineup, the stacks are deep, and the structure has 60-minute levels. The average stack is 78 big blinds deep so they’ll have plenty of room to make their moves.

Cards will go in the air after group pics and player introductions.

Seat 1: Tim West – 1,995,000 (67 bb)
Seat 2: Jason Koon – 1,030,000 (34 bb)
Seat 3: Ryan Riess – 3,090,000 (103 bb)
