Joseph "kolebear" Hebert Leads 2020 WSOP Main Event Final Table; De Silva Seeks 4th Bracelet
Level 33
: 80,000/160,000, 16,000 ante
The final table is set for the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 Main Event on WSOP.com!
On Monday, the surviving 71 players from a 705-entry field returned to battle for one of nine coveted spots. It took less than seven hours of play for the lineup to be set, and now those players will have to wait until Monday, December 28 to play down to a winner live in Las Vegas.
Each player is guaranteed $98,813 in prize money, but each is looking to take home the $1,553,256 top prize, which also provides them the opportunity to compete for an additional $1 million and the gold bracelet in a heads-up showdown against the winner of the GGPoker international portion of the WSOP on Wednesday, December 30. The runner-up will also become a poker millionaire as $1,002,340 is set aside for second place.
Leading the pack with more than twice his nearest opponent is Joseph "kolebear" Hebert, who hails from Metairie, Louisiana. Hebert has 41 career WSOP cashes totaling $344,297, the majority of which has come on the WSOP Circuit.
Hebert came on strong from two tables onwards when he eliminated every player but one from the last 15 down to the final table. That included dispatching accomplished poker pros Clayton "NevarLucky" Maguire (13th - $62,266), Martin “Bathroomline” Zamani (12th - $62,266), and Dan “pepperprince” Zack (11th - $77,832).
Others at the final table include three-time WSOP bracelet winner Upeshka "gomezhamburg" De Silva, New Jersey poker pro Ryan "Hagzzz021" Hagerty, and Shawn "shades927" Stroke, who finished second in the 2018 WSOP Event #10: $365 NLH WSOP.com Online for $94,265.
