Theo Jorgensen and Juha Helppi are the only WPT Champions Club members still remaining. Jorgensen won this event in Season IX, earning him €638,377 - can he become the first player to win this event twice?

Other notables that are still alive include Season X Player of the Year Joe Serock, Bryan Colin, Kyle Julius, Andrew Lichtenberger, and Mohsin Charania. Serock and Charnia are both in the top ten, while the other three have some work to do if they want to reach the final table.

The plan is to play from twenty-four players to an official final table of six. We will start on Level 18 with the blinds at 3,000/6,000/1,000, making the average stack 47 big blinds.
