With the elimination of WPT Champions Club member John Hennigan in seventh place, the televised final table of the Season XIV WPT L.A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino is set. Anthony Spinella leads the final six, while Mike Shariati is going for his second WPT title of the season. As soon as Shariati made the final 12, the Season XIV Legends of Poker champion took the lead in the Hublot WPT Player of the Year race, and the deeper he goes, the further he extends his lead.
