Just 12 players returned at noon on Tuesday for Day 3 of the WPT Fallsview Poker Classic, and it took them just three and a half hours to play down to the WPT final table of six. The chip leader at the final table will be Robert Forbes with 4,015,000. We also have a very interesting storyline with Soren Turkewitsch making the final table at this event for a second time. He won the inaugural WPT Main Event at the Fallsview Casino back in Season V, and he has a chance to become the first player to win the same event in WPT history tomorrow. Here is a look at the final table seating chart with chip counts.
Seat 1: Robert Forbes – 4,015,000 (80 bb)
Seat 2: Soren Turkewitsch – 1,830,000 (36 bb)
Seat 3: Mike Bui – 2,860,000 (57 bb)
Seat 4: David Ormsby – 1,550,000 (31 bb)
