'Ian is very good, I think Toby is very good, I'm not too sure about the others, I think Heng is a very good player too,' Normand said of what he knows about his opponents. Normand told PokerNews after Ethan Cahn busted in seventh place ($53,800) that he acknowledges he'll be facing some tough competition at the final table. Zhang and Frederic Normand (5,000,000) have some separation between the other four players. But he'll start the final table with 1,050,000, less than 20% of chip leader Heng Zhang's stack (5,780,000). The players at the final table might not be household names yet, although one of them is about to be, there are some accomplished pros with impressive The Hendon Mob resumes, starting with Ian O'Hara who has over $4 million in live tournament cashes.
At the final table, it will really be serious when the remaining players, all guaranteed at least $70,400, will be chasing the $351,650 first place prize. The money bubble burst on Sunday ( Day 2), but it wasn't until midway through Monday's session when the money started to become serious. Three long days of play are complete in the $5,000 buy-in World Poker Tour (WPT) bestbet Scramble and the original 365-entry field has dwindled down to the final table of six.ĭay 3 on Monday was intense as the pressure mounted given the pay-jumps at stake from start to finish. Plenty of Experience at the Final Table.
