The final table, which will be filmed for a future television broadcast, will also be streamed on the HPT's Twitch channel on a short delay (no hole cards will be shown due to Missouri gaming laws), featuring Jerod Smith and the HPT's Korey Stewart on commentary. The PokerNews blog coverage will sync with the stream.

The returning players already have a $12,776 cash locked up, but all eyes are on the top prize of $131,184, along with the trophy and a $3,500 Championship Package good for the Season XVI HPT Championship at the end of the year.
