Aug 31, 2017 The first ever WPT final table on PokerGO is one for the ages! This clash of titans features two-time WPT champs JC Tran and Marvin Rettenmaier and Phil Hellmuth, who's searching for his first title. Watch the entire final table now.
The survivors of days 1A and 1B returned to the Bicycle Casino for the official second day of the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker tournament. Players entered action fully aware of the stakes at hand, and the $1,577,170 first-place cash prize, along with a $25,000 seat in the WPT Championship, became the topic of discussion for the remaining field.
With a big payday and entrance into a lucrative tournament up for grabs, the first cards on day two hit the air at 2 p.m. PST with $300-$600 blinds and $75 antes.
Keeping pace with the previous two flights, nearly every table on day two featured at least one high-profile poker pro. Yet, amid the star-studded field, one table in particular drew the attention of the players and the media, table 25. The question, 'Did you see the draw at 25,' popped up nonstop during early action, and, unlike most buzz topics, the product lived up to the hype. Table 25 provided a murder's row that included James Van Alstyne (seat No. 1), Phil Hellmuth (seat No. 2), Jennifer Tilly (seat No. 3), Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi (seat No. 5), Scotty Nguyen (seat No. 8), and Amnon Filippi (seat No. 9).
While a veritable 'Poker All-Star Game' played out at table 25, a scenario not seen on days 1A and 1B occurred throughout the tournament area, namely, the early departure of big-name pros. Former WPT event winner Freddy Deeb busted 10 minutes into play after his A K failed to improve against Phil Laak's pocket queens, and FullTilt representative Roland De Wolfe exited action on a hand that saw his pocket jacks run smack into an opponent's pocket rockets.
Table 25, not to be outdone by the surrounding field, provided arguably the most talked-about elimination of day two's first level.
After limping into the hand, Phil Hellmuth called a $3,000 raise by an opponent in seat No. 4. 'The Poker Brat' checked the 9 9 5 flop, and seat No. 4 bet $7,000. Taking his time to count his stack, Hellmuth came back over the top for $14,000 total and then immediately called when seat No. 4 pushed all in.
As Hellmuth flipped over his cards, Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi, who had a running dialogue with Hellmuth up to this point, called out 'fives full.' The 5 5 verified Mizrachi's call, and Hellmuth took a huge lead in the hand after seat No. 4 turned up the 10 10. The 10 turn, however, gave seat No. 4 a superior full house, and Hellmuth, laughing in disbelief, walked out of the tournament area.
Other notables eliminated during early action included Chad Brown, Paul Wasicka, Surinder Sunar, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, Chip Jett, and 'The Grinder.'
An hour before the tournament start time, Joe Sebok, as cohost of CardPlayer.com'sThe Circuit, picked the brain of the show's special guest, Vanessa Rousso. In a funny twist of fate, Sebok and Rousso drew spots at the same table, and soon Rousso became the one probing Sebok for information.
In a heads-up pot, Sebok moved all in on an A Q J 9 2 board. In for her tournament life if she called, Rousso made a move to muck, but pulled her cards back and verbally recounted the hand bet-by-bet. After a few more minutes of deliberation, Rousso called and Sebok mucked his Q-J when she showed the A J.
Sebok, left with $30,000 in chips, never fully recovered from the hand. He survived on the short stack for another five hours, but bowed out of tournament play when he moved all in preflop and his A 2 failed to catch up to Yosh Nakano's A 10.
With table 25 long broken, the title for 'toughest draw' switched to a table that featured Greg 'FBT' Mueller, Tim Phan, Haralabos 'Bob' Voulgaris, Nam Le, Alfredo 'Toto' Leonidas, and defending Legends of Poker champion Alex Kahaner.
While Kahaner's road to repeating took a turn for the more difficult, the LOP chugged along as more and more players dropped out of contention.
By 11:23 p.m., eight tables remained and the tournament field stood at 72 participants.
With the end of day two approaching, a number of pros made late pushes up the leaderboard.
Card Player COO Barry Shulman added to his stack by eliminating Gabe Kaplan after his A 10 held up against Kaplan's Q J, while Huck Seed and Hoyt Corkins both doubled up during the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The chip leader after day 1A, Tuan Le ensured his day three spot by taking several big pots in the final levels. On one hand, Le raised to $9,000 preflop and an opponent reraised $40,000. Le put his opponent all in by firing an additional $28,000 into the pot. Le's 10 10 put him in a huge hole against his opponent's K K, but Le dragged the pot after making a full house on the A A 10 7 3 board.
Le followed up the win by taking more than $80,000 from Patrick Poels on a hand that saw Le turn trip sevens to best Poels' A-K.
At 1:49 a.m., and with seven levels of play completed, day two of the Legends of Poker came to an end.

Some other notables who failed to survive action included Mel 'Silver Fox' Judah, Tobey Maguire, John Phan, Amnon Filippi, Erik Seidel, Barry Greenstein (who gave a signed copy of his book Ace on the River to the player who busted him), Liz Lieu, Toto Leonidas, Bob Voulgaris, Nam Le, Victor Ramdin, Carlos Mortensen, Dan Harrington, Greg Mueller, Phil Laak, Jennifer Tilly, and Patrick Poels.
The 50-plus remaining participants return at 2 p.m. for day three. Action will conclude when the field has played down to the final six players.
Please remember, on Tuesday, August 29, WPT Player of the Year Gavin Smith and the Bicycle Casino will host a charity tournament in memory of Paul Hannum, a WPT cameraman who passed away earlier this month. Proceeds will go to Hannum's fiancée and unborn daughter. For more information please visit http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_news/news_story/1296?class=PokerNews.

Quote of the Day: 'I welcome all of you to laugh at my face when I get knocked out of the tournament.' - Haralabos 'Bob' Voulgaris backing up his theory that there are much worse things in life than busting out of a poker event.
The 2017 World Poker Tour Legends of Poker $4,000 no-limit hold’em main event kicks off this Friday, August 25. The Bicycle Hotel & Casino is hosting the 16th annual running of this televised WPT tournament, which begins with the first of three starting flights at noon. Players who are eliminated during Day 1A, 1B, or 1C may re-enter the following day. The event runs Aug. 25 – 31.
The final table of this event will be filmed and is scheduled to air in May 2018 on FOX Sports Regional Networks. Players who are unable to bag chips during one of the three starting flights may also buy-in before the start of Day 2.
Players participating in day 1A will have a chance to sit at the table at the table from 14-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who will be playing that starting flight. Hellmuth and Antonio Esfandiari were both involved in promoting the Legends of Poker series this year. Hellmuth was also recently announced as the new host of the WPT Raw Deal segment, part of the TV broadcast of each episode.
Pat Lyons took down the 2016 running of the Legends of Poker main event, defeating a field of 687 entries to win his first WPT title and the first-place prize of $615,346. Turnout for this event grew by 15.8 percent year-over-year, up from 593 entries in 2015. 2016 was the first year that the event took place after the seven-story, 117,907 square-foot boutique luxury hotel addition opened on Dec. 1, 2015.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with the World Poker Tour and for the return of our very own Legends of Poker,' said Hashem Minaiy, Managing Partner and CEO of The Bicycle Hotel & Casino. “It’s definitely a tournament not to be missed this season with the impressive prize pools.”
