We've always got time for a good festival! We're right in the middle of the Prague Poker Festival and with EPT Prague right on our doorstep, it's time to close out WPT Prague, where a few familiar faces finds themselves in contention as we're set for final table play later today.
It was a long, very long day on Sunday as we were going to find our final six players come hell or high water. Eugene Katchalov was unable to make it into the Top 18, thus, he was unable to make up any ground in the race for the PTPR Player of the Year, he remains second with only a few more opportunities left in December.
Our final six include EPT San Remo Champ - and PTPR Player of the Month for October 2011 - Andrey Pateychuk. Pateychuk finds himself third in chips heading into today's WPT Final Table. Pateychuk surely hopes that his experience at EPT San Remo this year will help him make up ground on the chip leader, Stanislav Kretz.
Kretz and Benjamin Pollak are the only two players with above average chip stacks.
Sigurd Eskeland, Adria Balaguer and Russell Carson round-out the final six, all three have PTPR Scores in 2011 and despite their somewhat modest chip stacks should not be overlooked as play begins in a little while.
WPT FINAL TABLE SEAT ASSIGNMENTS/CHIP COUNTS:
Seat 1: Adria Balaguer ~ 1,315,000
Seat 2: Andrey Pateychuk ~ 2,310,000
Seat 3: Benjamin Pollak ~ 4,865,000
Seat 4: Russell Carson ~ 725,000
Seat 5: Stanislav Kretz ~ 6,300,000
Seat 6: Sigurd Estelad ~ 1,575,000
Due to everyone working overtime on Sunday, final table play has been delayed by a bit. You can find the Final Table livestream on WPT.com later today - with Olivier Busquet and Jesse May describing the live action.
