While there isn't much in terms of experienced players, or at least players with major scores on the circuit, at the top of the WPT Legends of Poker Final 10 Leaderboard, the players currently under the average chip count totals total 5 WSOP bracelets and hope to turn things around as we play down to the WPT Final Table of six players tonight at the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, California, minutes from Los Angeles.
Josh Hale is the current chip leader (as Level 25 wraps-up) with Jim Willerson and Raouf Malek following Hall in second and third place.
Next in line are two double WSOP bracelet winners (each did it in the same year): Jeff Madsen and Greg Mueller.
Both players usually play well in California tournaments ... Mueller actually held the overnight chip lead early at the WPT LAPC back in February.
Another bracelet winner, Max Steinberg is still in contention, as are former WSOP Circuit Rincon Regional Champion Ali Eslami and Jesse Martin.
622 players entered the event which started over the weekend creating a 2.1M+ prizepool with a cool 500K USD going to the winner!
