Get Ready For the WPT Prague Final Table!
After a six-day battle just one player will remain when it's all said and done, as today we'll crown a champion in the WPT Prague Main Event. Bulgarian Fahredin Mustafov has taken a commanding chip lead, but the tournament is far from over yet.
Mustafov, who's biggest result to date was a 19th place in EPT Loutraki back in 2011, takes a staggering 2.8 million chips into six-handed play. With blinds at 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante, there's 142 to work with for the Bulgarian player.
Pedro Marques from Portugal is Mustafov's nearest competitor with 1.7 million chips, followed by Algeria's Abdelkader Benhalima. Benhalima turned out to be quite the talker on Day 4, and we're interested to see if he'll continue that with the cameras rolling.
Pavel Plesuv from Moldova, who sitting in third place, will have 895,000 chips to work with, as the bottom three players have lots of work to do in order to get back into the hunt. Javier Gomez (665,000) and Henrik Hecklen (256,000) fill out this final table, at which the remaining six players are all guaranteed to make €34,100, while the eventual winner takes home €175,000 and a WPT Tournament of Champions seat worth $15,400.
This final table will be live streamed on Twitch with hole cards up, and PokerNews will blog along with the live stream, on a 30-minute delay.
