The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas is hosting the final table of the $5K WPT Venetian Las Vegas Fall Championship. A crowd of poker stars joined the event, amassing a total of 510 entries. The prize pool smashed its $2 million guarantee, reaching an impressive $2,346,000.
Today, the final six players are set to battle it out, each guaranteed a hefty $88,000 after three grueling days of play. The winner will walk away with the trophy and a top prize of $446,800, including a $10,400 entry to the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
The talk of the tournament has been 17-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who was on a quest for his first WPT title. However, his journey ended in 20th place, falling to Nick Pupillo.
Pupillo capitalized on this momentum and now enters the final table as the chipleader. Daniyal Gheba holds the second spot, with WPT Champions Club member Nick Yunis rounding out the top three. The race for the title also includes Matt Affleck, Craig Mason, and Anthony Piacquadio.
