Six days, six starting flights, 1,033 entries... all boils down to this.
The final day of the Champions Club WPO $1,500 Main Event is finally upon us as we see 11 players return for their shot at all the glory here in Houston, Texas.
Since they did not make it to the final nine last night, play will begin a little earlier than originally planned. The final table stream is set to go live at 4:00 pm with a one-hour delay, so players are returning today at 2:00 p.m. to play until two players are lost.
Leading the way is Andrew Esposito who is sitting with a hefty stack of 11,650,000 while Spencer Champlin is behind him with 9,085,000. Houston's own Jerry Yen, who is a regular on the Champions Poker Live stream, rounds out the top three with 8,100,000.
