Die letzten sechs beim $3.500 World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship Event beim Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown stehen fest, Sonny Franco ist der Chipleader im Kampf um die Siegprämie von $1.261.095.
Mit noch 21 der 2.482 Entries war es gestern in Tag 4 beim WPT Championship Event gegangen. Viele der Pros waren schon auf der Strecke geblieben, bis zum Ende des Spieltages sollten es dann fast alle sein. Auf Rang 12 musste Blair Hinkle gehen, er hatte mit 
gegen 
von Albert Calderon am Board :A: 
das Nachsehen. Mit zehn Spielern ging es in die Dinner Break, gleich danach erwischte es den Sieger des $50k Super High Roller Events, Arthur Conan. Mit 
trat er zum klassischen Flip gegen Erik Cajelais an, das Board half nicht und Arthur nahm Rang 10 für $111.035.
Nachdem Simon Tremblay ausgeschieden war, ging es nun an einem Tisch weiter. Aufgrund zahlreicher Spielerreklamationen war man von der 4/4 Teilung wieder abgekommen und spielte nun an einem Tisch den offiziellen Final Table mit sechs Spielern aus. Chipleader war Brekstyn Schutten knapp vor Eric Cajelais, Viet Vo war der Shortstack. Auf Platz 8 musste Zachary Vuong gehen, der mit 
gegen von Ken Aldrige ein Kickerproblem hatte.
Der Final Table selbst war hart umkämpft und es sollte schier ewig dauern, ehe die letzten sechs gefunden waren. In dieser Zeit wanderten einige größer Pots über den Tisch. Viet Vo konnte sich gut halten, während Erik Cajelais ein wenig zurückfiel. Mit 
reraiste er in Hand # 94 schließlich all-in und bekam den Call von Sonny Franco mit 
. Das Board fiel 8 hoch und so musste Erik Platz 7 für $203.405 nehmen, während Sonny Franco mit 31.900.000 Chips die Führung eintüten konnte.
Alle sechs haben $261.700 sicher, für sie geht es am 18. Mai in den PokerGO Studios im Aria Las Vegas um die Siegprämie von $1.261.095. Alle Details findet Ihr unter wpt.com.
