Six Hopefuls Will Battle it Out For the WPT Amsterdam Crown Today!
Two Dutchman, an American, a Swede, a Brit and a guy from Morocco walk into Holland Casino, but only one will walk out a World Poker Tour champion and €215,000 richer.
Today is the day during which we will crown the first ever WPT champion in Amsterdam, and an exciting group of six remains. Chip leader Steve Warburton has to be the favorite coming into the day, but the other players are strong and prove to be no walkover.
Local heroes Joep van den Bijgaart and Kees van Brugge will have the biggest rail inside the Holland Casino, and the atmosphere is expected to be lively and full of excitement. Jason Wheeler can also almost be considered a local player, as the American loves the city of Amsterdam and already won the High Roller event for €125,000 earlier this week.
Fredrik Andersson was the tournament chip leader at the completion of both Day 1b and Day 3, and the Swede has been riding the rush all throughout this event.
Finally there is Farid Yachou, a Moroccan born Dutchman who's playing in his first ever live tournament. Yachou did not show any fear during this event and he will be a dangerous competitor as well.
So, there you have it. All six players left are very well capable of taking this event down, and PokerNews.com will bring you all the live action throughout this day.
