The Commerce Casino will be home to one of the sickest TV final table lineups ever for the World Poker Tour. The L.A. Poker Classic, normally one of the biggest and most popular events of the year, will pit poker’s greatest tournament “brat” in Phil Hellmuth and poker’s greatest living all-around player in Phil Ivey against one another in a very historic showdown.
In addition, tourney specialists Quinn Do and Nam Le are also apart of the final 6. Both of these “Asian Assassins” (pun intended coming from the Pino himself) will be trying to put the two legendary Phil’s in their place come television taping time, but it will be a daunting task to say the least. Both Hellmuth and Ivey are no strangers to pressure, and both have made their fair share of WPT final tables. However, they’ll have to really watch out for Le, who is one of the best tournament players in the world. And if you all remember, it was he who took down the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star Main Event back in 2006 (for more than a cooooool million bucks).
With Hellmuth and Ivey being the main attractions for this star-studded final table, it’ll be tough to NOT root for a Phil vs Phil heads-up battle. We’ll update who takes down this event as it gets reported.
Here are the final chip counts for the remaining 6 players:
Seat 1. Quinn Do - 1,450,000
Seat 2. Nam Le - 1,180,000
Seat 3. Phil Hellmuth - 2,380,000
Seat 4. Phil Ivey - 4,100,000
Seat 5. Charles Moore - 1,510,000
Seat 6. Scott Montgomery - 2,680,000
