PHOTO CREDIT/SOURCE: POKERNEWS.com

It's Final Table time down in Brazil! All eyes will be on Sao Paulo on Monday as Kid Poker Daniel Negreanu has a decent chip stack heading into Final Table play at the LAPT Grand Final.

As expected, Negreanu (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) final table experience far exceeds the experience of all other Final Table players combined. Negreanu takes a little over 700K in chips into Monday's play, about 1.2M chips behind our leader.

That chip leader is German player Daniele Nestola. Nestola biggest payday to date came in 2010 - where Nestola (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) finished in the Top 20 at NAPT Venetian Las Vegas.

This will be the first PTPR Score of the season for all participants, only the Final Five will receive points in the event.
