This Sunday, WPT Season X continues with the airing of WPT Legends of Poker: Part 2 on FSN at 8:00pm and 11:00pm local time* and continuing coverage of the WPT final table from the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA.

The episode will start with five remaining players – Adam Aronson, Josh Pollock, Ken Aldridge, Will Failla and Jeff Vertes – left at the final table after Owais Ahmed busted out at the end of Part 1. Pollock enters as the chip leader with the rest nipping at his heels, trying to chip away at his stack. The showdowns start almost immediately and viewers can expect to see fireworks in particular between Failla and Vertes, Vertes and Aronson and Pollock and Aldridge. The chip lead switches seats multiple times as a result of these hands, making the Legends of Poker title anyone’s to grab.

This episode also sees the first airing of several segments for WPT Season X. The “WPT Champions Cup Moment” shows a highlight from the previous nine years of World Poker Tour action featuring one of our WPT Champions, showing how they got their name on the WPT Champions Cup. Tony Dunst makes his first appearance as host of “The Raw Deal with Tony Dunst” and breaks down a hand between Aronson and Aldridge in which Aronson actually apologizes to Dunst after the hand for playing it so badly. Offering a look into the minds and lives of some of the biggest names in poker, Kimberly Lansing plays host to former WPT Player of the Year, WPT Champion and author Jonathan Little in the newest installment of “5 Questions.” On top of that, there are several interviews with players at the final table and behind-the-scenes commentary, like finding out what Failla means by “gangster poker.”

Sunday night’s episode holds something for every viewer, plenty of poker action, hands to sweat, great color commentary from WPT Anchors Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten, insightful poker analysis and behind-the-scenes looks at players and the Royal Flush Girls.

Make sure to tune in at, or set your DVRs for, 8:00pm and 11:00pm local time* on FSN for the WPT Legends of Poker: Part 2.
