| TV final table of six is set! |
That does it for tonight folks! With Owen Crowe 7th place finish, the WPT Legends of Poker Televised Final Table is set, and it is chalk full of tough poker pros. Let's take a quick tour of the table that will be playing down to a winner tomorrow at 4:00-PM PST.
 |
| Seat 1: Harut Arutyunyan- 3.67 million |
Seat 1 is Harut Arutyunyan, a local pro who is primarily a cash game player. Arutyunyan only has one live cash to his name before this tournament, a 36th place in a $235 Deepstack here at The Bicycle Casino in July. He will be bringing 3.67 million into play with him tomorrow.
 |
| Seat 2: Taylor McFarland- 2.25 million |
Next up is Taylor McFarland. He came into the day as one of our big stacks, but took a big hit early when his pocket Aces were cracked by the pocket Queens of Richard Munro after a queen high flop. McFarland was able to bounce back though, and will go into play tomorrow with an average stack thanks to his KO of Crowe in 7th place. He has already locked up the biggest tournament cash of his career.
 |
| Seat 3: Jeremy Kottler- 1.975 million (short stack) |
Seat 3 resides Jeremy Kottler. The poker pro has made his third WPT TV final table, and he's hoping that the third time will be the charm. Kottler finished 6th at the Five Diamond Main Event in December of 2012 for nearly $188,000, and followed that up with a 4th place showing at the Borgata Poker Open Main Event in 2013, making this the third year in a row that Kottler has made a WPT final table. He will have his work cut out for him though, as he brings in the short stack with 1.975 million.
 |
| Seat 4: Tyler Kenney- 2.555 million |
The four seat belongs to young poker pro Tyler Kenney. Known by many as the little brother to 2014 bracelet winner Bryn Kenney, Tyler is hoping to get out of his big brother's shadow with this showing. A third place finish would lock up the biggest cash of Kenney's career, and while he comes into the final table as the short stack, he had already doubled up twice when we were seven-handed.
 |
| Seat 5: Massoud "Mike" Eskandari- 5.975 million (Chip Leader) |
The five seat is local pro and fan favorite Massoud Eskandari, who also happens to be our overwhelming chip leader with nearly 6 million chips. Known to many as simply "Mike", Eskandari has been on a tear this summer on the Los Angeles poker scene. Eskandari has over $100,000 in earnings just since July, and the money he's already locked up for 6th place will mark his biggest career live cash.
 |
| Seat 6: Tyler Cornell- 2.525 million |
Rounding out the final table is Tyler Cornell. The young pro has been a fixture at the top of the chip counts since Day 1, when he finished his qualifying heat as the chip leader. Cornell has over half a million dollars in live earnings, and will lock up his biggest live cash with just a 5th place showing tomorrow.
