When the five players remaining at the final table of WPT World Championship Super High Roller sit back down at the WPT Final Table TV set to continue playing toward crowning a new WPT Champion, the minimum payout will be $263,160. A hefty payday for any poker player, let alone just for fifth place. But that’s what happens in a $100,000 buy-in event where the winner will walk with $1,308,405.
Here are the chip counts for those final five players:
John Juanda – 4,695,000
Andrew Robl – 3,410,000
Daniel Perper – 2,205,000
Bill Klein – 1,695,000
Tom Marchese – 1,600,000
It’s a stacked final and the stakes are high, so expect the action to heat up early and the players to clash often.
Away from the felt, viewers will see WPT Anchor Kimberly Lansing sit down with WPT Raw Deal analyst Tony Dunst to talk about his recent tournament success in WPT events and his role as a commentator and analyst, and WPT Royal Flush Girl Ivy Teves talk about her favorite Cirque du Soleil show “O” at the Bellagio.
