We're down to six players at the WPT Southern Poker Championship at Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi - yes, that's right, it's WPT TV Final Table time!

We've got one hell of a final table setup .. Alexander Kuzmin is the chip leader, big-time pro Shannon Shorr (off a WPT final table late in 2010), Ryan Hughes, Leif Force and Patrick Mahoney are also at the final table ...

But it's Allen Carter, second in chips, that is holding everyone's attention. Carter is steps away from history. Carter won the 2009 WPT Southern Championship - he is looking to earn a second WPT Southern title in three years (Hoyt Corkins won the event last year - he scored 7 PTPR in this event) ... something that would put him in the record books for sure!


Here are the chip counts as Final Table play approaches...

1 Alexander Kuzmin 1,969,000
2 Allen Carter 1,928,000
3 Ryan Hughes 840,000
4 Leif Force 674,000
5 Shannon Shorr 663,000
6 Patrick Mahoney 394,000


And here are the winnings that the Final 6 are playing for...
1st: $584,481
2nd: $306,607
3rd: $212,208
4th: $140,926
5th: $110,103
6th: $86,985

The winner of the event will receive 127 PTPR Points.
