Tournament News
by David Aydt on March 29, 2007

475 players anted up the five thousand dollar entry fee for a shot at a nearly seven hundred thousand dollar first prize. Attendance did slip a bit for this tour stop, but that didn't prevent a six-player star studded final table appearing from the rubble of bad beats and many long hours put in to get behind the cameras for Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten to call their plays behind the booth.
Second in the Cardplayer Player of the Year standings, J.C. Tran is hoping a final table win in Reno will cement his placement at the top of the leaderboard.
Here's the colorful description of the final table participants by the always enjoyable folks at Wicked Chops Poker:
Tran is currently second overall in Card Player's POY race, trailing James Van Alstyne. Even though we have no idea how these rankings are calculated, he'll surely surpass Van Alstyne with his current performance, as he's stacked third overall at the WPT World Poker Challenge final table with 904k. Tran is joined WCP fave Mark Seif, who makes his first WPT final table since 2002. Seif is fifth overall at 325k.
The big stack going into the final table is David "The Dragon" Pham* with 1,655,000. Pham has been among the chip leaders the entire tournament, which we guess is impressive.
The other guys we don't really care about round out the final table.
Just missing out on the TV final table were Erick Lindgren (10th) and Joe Sebok (13th).
