WPT Tournament of Champions

Day 2 of the first-ever World Poker Tour Tournament of Champions concluded late Saturday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. The elite event began two days ago with 64 entries and is now down to the final six. Leading the way heading into the final playing session is Jonathan Jaffe.

Jaffe leads, but it’s Michael Mizrachi that headlines it. The South Florida native is one of the most accomplished players in the game. With multiple WSOP bracelets, a WPT title and over $14 million in tournament earnings, he’s coming into the day second in chips.

Each of the remaining six returns tomorrow having locked up $58,300 in prize money. The $1,060,000 prize pool sees its champion earn $381,600 which is inclusive of a $15,000 seat in the 2017 WPT TOC.
