It's official. With Eugene Katchalov's elimination, we are down to the Final 18 players at the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

This also means that Sorel Mizzi, who is still alive in the tournament, will become the #1 player on the PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year list. Mizzi will pickup a minimum of 9 PTPR Points in this event and will take a minimum of a 5 point lead on Tom Marchese.

With only days left before the #1 Ranked player is crowned PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year, will this be enough for Mizzi to seal the deal?
