The Final Table at Foxwoods
The final table is set for the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods.
Nick Schulman is the big stack of the remaining six, with 3,502,000. The only other stack with over a mil in chips is Anthony Licastro with 1,412,000.
Allen Cunningham checks in with 795,000. Yesterday’s chip leader Lenny Cortellino is fourth with 773,000. Bill Gazes is fifth with 693,000. And Day 1 chip leader Lyle Berman is the final table short-stack with 659,000.
Final table play kicks off at 4pm on Friday.
And while we're talking about final tables, the one in Chattanooga for the Krystal Square Off World Hamburger Eating Championship this Satuday is also set, and no doubt the Phil Ivey of Eating, Takeru Kobayashi, will repeat as champion. Last year he ate 69 Krystal burgers in 8 minutes, and not sure what the Vegas line is right now, but from our insider's viewpoint, we're expecting him to eclipse that mark by 5 or more. Bet on it.
I look forward to the tournament news. The World Poker Finals is an event that should not be missed. The contestants for the finals table apparently have a lot to gamble.
