We expect Phil Hellmuth to be very humble if he wins his first WPT title.
Hellmuth only trails the doubley-first-named Andy Seth with 2,164,000. In fifth overall is Hasan Habib, who is actually still alive, with 455,000.
Special mention of Scotty Nguyen, who finished 8th and cashed for $58,600. Take a quick look at his track record…it’s pretty sick and remarkably consistent.

Phil Hellmuth is in contention for that ever-elusive(TM) first WPT title.
Maybe that changes this week. Could the re-evaluation of his game that Daniel Negreanu tweeted about last week be working this quickly?
With 27 players remaining, Hellmuth is the chip leader at the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star, stacked at 550,000. He’s followed by Hasan Habib, who is still alive, with 496,000.
Other notables remaining include Nick Schulman (381,500), a near shoe-in for WPT Player of the Year now Faraz Jaka (332,500), Chau Giang (307,500), and NAPT Venetian winner Thomas Marchese (117,500).

Annie Duke probably looked something like this when she defeated Erik Seidel for the 2010 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship.
Annie Duke, a woman, has won the 2010 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship.
The woman Duke defeated long-time friend Erik Seidel 2-1 for the title. She banks $500,000 for the win, boosting her career tourney earnings to over $2.1M. That number of course doesn’t include the $2M she took home for winning another made-for-TV event, the initial WSOP Tournament of Champions back in 2004.
For a recap of the match, go here.

Lauren Kling is among, get this, SIX women remaining in the WPT LAPC Main Event.
Newhouse ended Day 3 as chipleader, stacked at 498,000. He’s followed by Chris Moore, a ginger, with 489,000. In third overall is Japanese motorcycle Masaaki Kagawa with 432,000.
In all, 72 players remain (and they’re all in the money). Day 2 chipleader Daniel Negreanu is still alive, although he stacked ‘em offTM. His chip count dipped to 222,500, which is still above average.
Other notables remaining include but are certainly not limited to Annie Duke, a woman (321,000), Johnny Chan, wait, Johnny Johnny Chan? Yep Johnny Chan (218,000), Prahlad Friedman (208,000), Hoyt Corkins (206,500), Erica Schoenberg, a woman (189,000), Vivek Rajkumar (157,500), Vanessa Rousso, a woman (46,000), Lauren Kling, a woman (44,000), and Jon Turner, a ginger (31,500).
More from a few months ago when we said Kling had potential here.

We'll give you the LAPC, we'll take the gold in hockey today. Fair trade.
At the top of the leaderboard is arguably poker’s biggest name, Daniel Negreanu. With 188 remaining, Negreanu is stacked at 316,500. He’s followed by Eugene Katchalov 290,000. In third overall is Duke grad Vanessa Rousso, a woman, who went to Duke, with 225,000.
Lisa Hamilton, a woman, Erica Schoenberg, a woman, Annie Duke, a woman, Dee Leuong, a woman, Jennifer Tilly, a woman, Christina Lindley, a woman, and JJ Liu, a woman, also remain, although none of them went to Duke.
That’s about all of the poker for us today. Time to focus on the U-S-A vs. Canada gold medal hockey game this afternoon. Time to pay back our northern neighbors for 10 years of Nickelback. While we give the Canucks some shit from time to time, we do love them. But…we will never, ever, EVER forgive them for Nickelback. Pay back is a bitch.
