The Mad poker "scientist" has taken the WPT World Championship by storm! Marvin Rettenmaier entered Day 6 play as the chip leader ... only a few hours later, our WPT Final Table is set, and Rettenmaier holds a substantial chip lead at Bellagio.
At 6.7M, Rettenmaier is the only player that holds over 2.6M chips as we'll play to find the latest WPT World Champion in the event.
Two-time WPT Champion - Michael "The Grinder" Mizarachi - is one of two former WPT Champs remaining in the field ("The Takeover" Nick Schulman being the other) and sits second in chips with 2.56M.
Coming off an amazing past six months in Europe, Steve O'Dwyer's homecoming is complete, a trip to the WPT World Championship Final Table. O'Dwyer is the only other player with 2M+ chips heading into Final Table play.
The aforementioned Schulman, Trevor Pope and Philippe Ktorza round-out the Final Six.
The WPT final table bubble boy is WPT Bay 101 winner Moon Kim. Kim, who had an opportunity to catch Joe Serock for WPT Player of the Year, was unable to survive as his ace-queen lost to Rettenmaier's pocket nines.
