Season XI WPT Champions Club: Josh Hale

Level 10: 1,200-2,400, 400 ante

0925 Josh Hale
Josh Hale joined the WPT Champions Club when he won the WPT Legends of Poker earlier this season, earning $500,000 for the biggest score of his career.

Hale has 1,200 points in the WPT Player of the Year race, which puts him within striking distance of points-leader Matt Salsberg. It won't be easy for Hale, as he'll need to win this event (and have Salsberg bust outside of the money) to win the POY award.
