Das World Poker Tour Finale der Borgata Winter Open in Atlantic City findet ohne die ganz großen Namen statt. Zwar konnten alle sechs Finalisten schon etliche Cashes bei Live-Turnieren einfahren, jedoch sind die Spieler hierzulande kaum in Erscheinung getreten.
Den größten Live-Cash der Finalteilnehmer fuhr bisher Jia Liu ein. 2012 gewann der US-Amerikaner bei den Borgata Spring Poker Open in einem $2.500 Turnier $312,483.
Auch Daniel Weinman ist kein unbekannter in der amerikanischen Pokerszene. Dick abkassieren konnte Weinman 2015 als Sieger bei einem Circuit Turnier der WSOP. Damals stieg seine Bankroll um $280.000 an. Am Finaltag feiert Weinman seinen 29ten Geburtstag und kann sich dort mit seinem ersten WPT-Titel und $892.433 Preisgeld selbst das größte Geburtstagsgeschenk machen.
Wahrscheinlicher ist aber, dass Nathan Bjerno das Finale gewinnt. Als massiver Chipleader des $3.500 Buy-In Rekord-Turniers, hat Bjerno derzeit wohl die besten Chancen auf den Sieg. Neben Nathan Bjerno, Jia Liu und David Weinman teilen sich den Tisch heute im Finale Tyler Kenney, Nicholas Immekus und Richard Foster.
Alle Finalisten haben bereits ein Preisgeld in Höhe von $184.787 sicher.
Die Chipcounts vor dem Finale:
Seat 1. Jia Liu – 6,815,000 (85 bb)
Seat 2. Tyler Kenney – 6,030,000 (75 bb)
Seat 3. Nathan Bjerno – 12,415,000 (155 bb)
Seat 4. Nicholas Immekus – 3,550,000 (44 bb)
Seat 5. Richard Foster – 5,130,000 (64 bb)
Seat 6. Daniel Weinman – 5,410,000 (68 bb)
