The preliminaries and preparations are finally over – it’s time for Day 5 of the 6th WPT Montreal – the Final Table. The players have been introduced, WPT Hosts Vince Van Patten and Tony Dunst have made their introductory remarks and now there’s nothing left to do but the most important part: to play down to a winner!
Cards are now in the air, and in 30 minutes you can watch the live stream of the event on PokerGo!
Here are a few short notes we made about each player including their starting big blinds in play today:
- Eric Afriat (18bb)
Eric is a very successful local player who is a member of the WPT Champion’s Club, having won the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown in Hollywood, Florida in 2014. He has had a lot of other success as well, including a win and another final table in Bellagio Cup events in Las Vegas in 2012 and a WPT Final Table appearance at Bellagio in 2010. Eric has had success here on his home turf, but he has yet to win a big one – a fact he’ll want to change asap! - Maxime Heroux (90bb)
Maxime is a local player that doesn’t have a ton of published live results but has demonstrated a high level of skill over the years in events here at Playground Poker Club. - Derek Wolters (19bb)
Derek is an experienced professional player with published live results going back to 2010. He’s still looking for a big championship score. - Brendan Baksh (16bb)
Brendan hails from California and while he hasn’t had a huge live score, he is an experienced player with published results from events in Las Vegas and LA. - Patrick Quinn (107bb)
Patrick comes from Toronto and has published results from events in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Florida. - David Peters (56bb)
David is one of the most superbly experienced players on the world poker scene today. With 6-figure scores dating back to 2008 and over $18M in lifetime earnings, Peters’ resume needs little burnishing – but a WPT Championship would certainly add to his renown.
