Cate Hall Going for the Hublot WPT Player of the Year at the Final Table of the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown

The final 10 players have bagged and tagged their chips, and they now have two days off before returning at 11:00 am ET on Wednesday to play down to a winner. That means these players are free to late-register the $10,000 buy-in WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Finale that returns for Day 2 tomorrow at 12:00 noon ET.

Here are the official chip counts and seating assignments for Wednesday’s final table, followed by the remaining prizepool:

Seat 1. Cate Hall – 1,140,000  (19 bb)
Seat 2. Andrey Plotnikov – 3,240,000  (54 bb)

Cate Hall (pictured) may be ninth in chips, but she is the last player in this event still in contention for the Hublot WPT Player of the Year. Mike Shariati leads the POY race with 2,450 points, and Hall can take the lead from him if she finishes 1st or 2nd. A victory would also make her the first woman to win an open WPT title.

Tomorrow our updates shift entirely to the $10,000 buy-in WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Finale (click here for updates), which returns to action at 12:00 noon ET.
