After two long days of high stakes poker, the final table of the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop charity WSOP event is now set with eight players remaining. Leading the way is Insta Poker’s own Antonio Esfandiari, who spent most of Day 2 of this event at or near the top of the leaderboard and looks to continue that run when play gets underway today for the last and final day.
The final table consists of some of the biggest names in poker (Phil Hellmuth, Sam Trickett, Bobby Bladwin and Brian Rast) and wealthy businessmen (Guy Laliberté, David Einhorn and Richard Yong), all battling it out for the $18,346,673 first-place prize and the first-ever platinum WSOP bracelet.
Here are their chip counts heading into play today:
1. Antonio Esfandiari – 39,925,000
2. Sam Trickett – 37,000,000
3. Guy Laliberté – 21,700,000
4. Brian Rast – 11,350,000
5. Phil Hellmuth – 10,925,000
6. David Einhorn – 8,375,000
7. Richard Yong – 7,475,000
8. Bobby Baldwin – 7,150,000
While the final table pits businessmen vs. poker players, there’s one thing they all have in common when it comes to succeeding within their chosen profession, making good decisions. As both a poker pro and a businessman, Esfandiari has an edge over his competition at this final table and has shared his decision-making process with the release of his Insta Poker Hand-Pack™, The Magician’s Secrets for Winning Tournaments.
