It's Mike and Mike time at Bay 101!
The WPT have a problem on their hands, but, it could end up being a fun problem in the end as one of their own, play-by-play man Mike Sexton, has qualified for final table play at the Shooting Star.
It will be interesting to see what the WPT does with it's coverage while Sexton is still involved in tournament play. Now Sexton does enter final table as one of the short stacks so, it could be a short-lived final table for him.
Another Mike is entering Final Table play with an impressive chip stack. Yes, the Mouth himself, Mike Matusow, will try once again to capture his first WPT title. Matusow enters final table play third in chips.
Vivek Rajkumar will try to make it heads up for the second straight WPT event in a row. However, this time he will try and better his LAPC second place finish.
