Welcome to the WSOPC Sydney Main Event Final Table
The final nine players remaining in the WSOP International Circuit $2,200 Main Event have returned to action at The Star in Sydney to play to a winner.
Edwin Chiu has the chip lead with 6,335,000 chips, just over one big blind more than Steven Zhou. Chiu will be a force to be reckoned with after eliminating Moustafa Haidar in the final hand on Day 3, after rivering a flush against a set, to give himself a great shot at taking home the WSOP Circuit ring and $410,264 top prize.
| Place | Prize (AUD) | Prize (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 410,264 AUD | $280,650 |
| 2 | 253,395 AUD | $173,340 |
| 3 | 188,292 AUD | $128,805 |
| 4 | 141,624 AUD | $96,881 |
| 5 | 107,837 AUD | $73,768 |
| 6 | 83,086 AUD | $56,837 |
| 7 | 64,765 AUD | $44,304 |
| 8 | 51,052 AUD | $34,923 |
| 9 | 40,689 AUD | $27,834 |
Chiu and Zhou won't have everything their own way, however, with all nine remaining players desperate to take down the title and improve on the $40,689 they'll be guaranteed for being the next man to exit.
Huss Hassan, who sits third in chips, is no stranger to this situation. Hassan has nine titles to his name, one of which came in the 2018 WSOPC Sydney $1,320 6-Max event, where he captured his first circuit ring.
Adrian Attenborough is the most notable player at the table, with a poker resume that boasts career earnings exceeding $1.4 million, putting him 26th on the Australian All-Time Money list. A victory today would see him rocket up to 23rd place, passing Joe Cabret, Manny Stavropoulos and Stewart Scott in the process, and leaving him a small cash away from passing Jarred Graham.
Here's how the players will line up when they return to the felt today.
| Seat | Player | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trevor Saunders | 940,000 |
| 2 | Steven Zhou | 6,205,000 |
| 3 | Adrian Attenborough | 4,150,000 |
| 4 | John Zwaine | 3,065,000 |
| 5 | Duy Vu | 2,775,000 |
| 6 | Lior Segre | 2,585,000 |
| 7 | Chao Duan | 3,465,000 |
| 8 | Edwin Chua | 6,335,000 |
| 9 | Huss Hassan | 4,500,000 |
