Poker fans have plenty of action to keep them entertained this weekend, with two separate WPT events running on each side of the Atlantic.

In Florida, players are currently competing in Day 1A of the WPT bestbet Jacksonville Fall Poker Scramble. This event – whose final table will be live streamed beginning at 2:30pm ET on Tuesday, November 13 – features two Day 1s, with re-entry on each day. While some pros, like Daniel NegraneauJon Turner, and WPT Season XI Ones to Watch Amanda Musumeci have already been sent to the rail for the remainder of today, others like Phil Hellmuth, Daryl Fish, and Faraz Jaka are working to move their way up the leader board.

WPT Champions Club members Guillaume Darcourt and Bruno Fitoussi, and WPT World Championship runner-up  are just a few of the notable players remaining in the event.

Live streaming of the tournament’s final table will take place starting at 4:30pm CET on PartyPoker.fr.
