The final table is set in the ‘Domestic Tournament’ of the 2020 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. The US-facing segment of the tournament drew a total of 704 entries, and after two full days of action, just nine players now remain. The final table will resume playing live and in-person at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on Dec. 28, with the title and the top prize of $1,553,256 on the line.

WSOP – The Most Prestigious Event on the Poker Calender. The World Series of Poker is the most prestigious event in the poker world. Held annually at the Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, this series of poker tournaments commences in late May each year and runs for 2.

This year’s main event has utilized an unprecedented hybrid live-and-online format, with two separate tournaments beginning online and continuing until both final tables are set. The two winners determined at those final tables, which will be played live and in person, will then square off in a live heads-up showdown to determine which will win the championship WSOP gold bracelet and an added bonus prize of $1,000,000 on top of their winnings from the final table.

Day 2 of the ‘Domestic Tournament’ began with just 71 players remaining. It took around seven hours to narrow the field to the final nine players, with Louisiana’s Joseph Hebert ending the day as the clear chip leader. His 13,052,534 stack is nearly 2.5 times larger than the next-biggest stack at the table and represents just more than 30 percent of the total chips in play. Hebert has more than $600,000 in prior tournament earnings, including a runner-up finish in the 2013 WSOP Circuit Harrah’s New Orleans main event and a win in this year’s Million Dollar Heater main event held at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.

Shawn Stroke ended the day in second chip position with 5,252,000. The Lawrence, New York native’s largest prior score came when he finished second in the 2018 WSOP $365 buy-in online bracelet event for $94,265. 2019 WPTDeepStacks New York main event champion Ryan Hagerty sits in third place with 5,071,572.

The most accomplished player at the final table is three-time WSOP bracelet winner Upeshka De Silva. The poker pro from Katy, Texas has just shy of $3.1 million in prior tournament earnings, with all of his bracelet wins coming in no-limit hold’em events. He won his first hardware at the series in 2017, topping a field of 1,655 entries to win a $1,500 no-limit hold’em event for $424,577. Two years later he took down the $3,000 buy-in shootout event, besting a field of 369 to earn $229,923. In 2019 he won the $600 buy-in bounty event, outlasting 1,224 entries to earn $98,263.

Plenty of highly-successful tournament players made a deep run in this event, only to fall short of making the live final table. The last remaining WSOP main event champion with a chance to win the big dance a second time was 2013 world champion Ryan Riess. His run came to an end in 47th place ($22,334). Other big names knocked out on day 2 included three-time bracelet winner and Wolrd Poker Tour champion Nick Schulman (55th – $20,304), bracelet winner and PokerStars Caribbean Adventure main event winner Galen Hall (53rd – $22,334), two-time bracelet winner Shankar Pillai (51st – $22,334), four-time WPT main event winner Darren Elias (50th – $22,334), two-time bracelet winner Freddy Deeb (46th – $22,334), WPT champion Matthew Salsberg (41st – $25,718), and three-time bracelet winner and WPT champion Scott Seiver (39th – $25,718).

The notables that made the last four tables but were bounced before the final table included poker triple crown winner Mohsin Charania (35th – $29,779), bracelet winner and 2010 WSOP main event third-place finisher Joseph Cheong (33rd – $29,779), bracelet winner Jason Somerville (32nd – $29,779), bracelet winner Justin Liberto (26th – $35,194), Maria Ho (22nd – $35,194), Jared Griener (20th – $35,194), Clayton “NevarLucky” Maguire (13th – $62,266), Martin Zamani (12th – $62,266), bracelet winner Daniel Zack (11th – $77,832), and bracelet winner Anthony Spinella (10th – $77,832).

The eventual champion will face the winner of the ‘International Tournament’ in a heads-up battle for the bracelet and the $1,000,000 in added money on Dec. 30.

The GGPoker Super MILLION$ final table is always a star-studded affair but this latest one, the 37th edition, is right up there with the toughest final table assembled in this event.

Super MILLION$ Final Table Chip Counts

New Zealand’s David Yan is in superb form right now, and it is unsurprising to find his name at the top of the chip counts. Yan sits down at the Super MILLION$ final table armed with 5,344,087 chips and enjoys a 2.2 million chip advantage over the rest of the star-studded field.

Seventeen of Yan’s fellow GGPoker players will be cheering on the Kiwi as he attempts to go one better than his runner-up finish on January 24. Yan sold 33.3% of himself at 1.15 markup to 17 investors via the free in-built staking software.

Brazilian Yuri Dzivielevski is Yan closest rival when it comes to chips; Dzivielevski sits down with 3,015,357 chips. This is the third time we have seen Dzivielevski at a Super MILLION$ final table, although he’s not been in the limelight since September 13 when he finished fifth for $185,350, his best result in this tournament.

Astedt On Course For $2 Million in Super MILLION$ Earnings

Niklas Astedt hopes this is the Super MILLION$ where he finally gets the monkey off his back and manages to walk away as the victor. The talented Swede has played all but one of the 37 Super MILLION$ tournament to date, has cashed in 16 of those and this is his 10th final table. Astedt has finished second twice in this event, the latest runner-up finish coming on January 3 where he banked $346,104. Finishing fourth today would see Astedt’s Super MILLION$ earning surpass the $2 million mark, which is nothing short of incredible.

High stakes cash game specialist Wiktor Malinowski has reached his first Super MILLION$ final table, although this is his third consecutive in the money finish. Malinowski has cashed six times in this event but has always fallen short of the final table until now. He returns to the fray with 2,281,656 chips and has a realistic chance of becoming the tournament’s champion.

The last time we saw Canada’s Timothy Nuter at a Super MILLION$ final table was back on November 1, 2020. Nuter’s time under the spotlight was short-lived as he fell in eighth-place and had to make do with a $54,358 payout. The Canadian sits down this evening with 2,218,861 chips, enough for the middle of the pack. Surely he’ll go deeper than eighth place this time around.

Ferrariman Hopes to Turn $1,000 Satellite Into Enough for a Ferrari!

Sixth-place “Ferrariman” of Austria won their Super MILLION$ seat via a $1,000 satellite, so is guaranteed to enjoy a substantial ROI regardless of their finishing position. This is only their second appearance in this mammoth-sized event and their first cash. They may be in sixth-place at the restart, but they have 2,206,012 chips in their arsenal. The chip counts are extremely tight this week, which means anything can happen.

Sam Greenwood occupies seventh place right now, courtesy of his 1,981,850 chips. Greenwood is a phenomenal poker tournament player, but it’s fair to say the Super MILLIONS has been his nemesis tournament. Four cashes from 27 appearances have resulted in $102,240 in winnings. Today marks Greenwood’s first final table appearance in this event. Let’s hope he makes it count.

partypoker-sponsored pro Mikita Badziakouski is another player making his first final appearance in this event. His record in the biggest tournaments speaks for itself, but we know that anything but finishing in first-place isn’t good enough for the man from Belarus.

Bringing up the rear is Hungary’s “Syntropy”, who only recently joined the site. They have only two previous cashes at GGPoker, both min-cashes in a $210 and $525 bounty events. Syntropy won their Super MILLION$ seat via a $1,000 satellite and are guaranteed at least $56,610 for their efforts. Imagine if the Hungarian went all the way and took down the tournament for $452,885.
