Big names line up for WPT final table

2008-07-17 15:34:39

The first televised World Poker Tour (WPT) final table of season seven is packed full of star players.

Top internet professionals Mike "SirWatts" Watson and Luke "IWEARGOGGLES" Staudenmaier are both competing to win the Bellagio Cup IV main event, along with double World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet holder John "Razor" Phan.

David Benyamine, who has WPT and WSOP titles, is also in the last six, as is another WSOP champion Ralph Perry.

Gabriel Thaler is the least well known of the final table combatants, but he too has made dozens of cash finishes in big tournaments over the last few years.

Watson leads the chip count, with Benyamine second and Phan third.

Staudenmaier follows in fourth, with Perry and Thaler bringing up the rear.

A win for Phan or Benyamine could have a huge impact upon Card Player's player of the year competition, where both are in strong contention.
