WPT's LA Poker Classic Final Table Set & Filled With Pros; Hellmuth, Ivey & more

The World Poker Tour's premiere stop in Los Angeles (the LA Poker Classic) is nearing an end. Day 5 of the Championship Event wrapped up on Wednesday and from the original 665 players, we are down to 6. A lot of pro players and many other wanna-bes shelled out the $10K buy-in, looking to become the next "WPT-made millionaire."

Poker fans can expect fireworks from this final table as it features pro players Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey and Nam Le. Both Ivey & Hellmuth are still searching for their first WPT title but Nam Le was already crowned a World Poker Tour champion back at the 2006 Bay-101 Shooting Star tournament.

With respect to the big name pros, there are three other players still in it too. Here are the official chip counts heading into the final table:

Seat 1. Quinn Do - 1,450,000
Seat 2. Le - 1,180,000
Seat 3. Phil Hellmuth - 2,380,000
Seat 4. Phil Ivey - 4,100,000
Seat 5. Charles Moore - 1,510,000
Seat 6. Scott Montgomery - 2,680,000


Phil Ivey holds a decent chip-lead but anything can happen in poker. The final table is scheduled to start at 5:00 PT. Check back here at ALLINmag.com for results once the event has wrapped.
