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.

Play will begin at the start of Level 29 with blinds at 80,000/160,000 with a 160,000 big blind ante. As with Day 2, the levels will be 60 minutes in length with a break every two levels.

All players returning are guaranteed a minimum payout of $18,290, but of course they will all be eyeballing the $234,730 that is sitting up top.
