WPT Championship:  Hansen Leads While Going For Title Number Four
Win a flip, lose a flip. It's the difference between brilliant poker play and having someone question your ability to hold two cards in your hands while breathing at the same time. In most cases, winning coin flips in a tournament setting sends you to the final table. The six players remaining all had to endure waiting for the five cards to be spread as their pair went up against two overcards, to see if they were making reservations to go party at Pure or color-coding their newly acquired chips were stacked in neat 20 chip rows.

Gus Hansen will start the TV final table with the most 20 chip rows today with two million chips more then second place Cory Carroll and third place David Chiu. Yesterday's brief leader, Amir Vahedi, flopped pair of queens to Hansen's flopped pair of aces, and he went home as the TV table bubble boy after collecting $237,435 for his efforts.

Here are the official chip counts for Saturday's televised WPT Final Table as Gus Hansen tries to extend his most WPT wins record to four from WorldPokerTour.com:

Seat 1. John Roveto - 2,720,000
Seat 2. Gus Hansen - 8,570,000
Seat 3. David Chiu - 6,050,000
Seat 4. Tommy Le - 1,950,00
Seat 5. Cory Carroll - 6,670,000
Seat 6. Jeff King - 1,305,000
