PokerGO has been your live stream home for the last two seasons of World Poker Tour action and more final table coverage is coming next month. Starting March 11, the L.A. Poker Classic, Gardens Poker Championship, and Borgata Winter Poker Open will crown champions live from Luxor’s Hyper X Esports Arena.
In anticipation of all three final tables, which will stream live on PokerGO from March 11-13, Poker Central breaks down the two events that have already locked up Las Vegas lineups and previews the upcoming L.A. Poker Classic.
While the other two Hyper X Esports Arena final tables feature events with decades of WPT history, Gardens Casino is a new addition to the World Poker Tour. The property hosted a $5,000 buy-in event at the end of the summer and then Gardens opened 2019 with a $10,000 buy-in event.
Over 250 players built up a $2.5 million prize pool and the final table returns to play for nearly $550,000 on March 12.
The Gardens Poker Champions final table lineup is provided below:
Seat 1: Shannon Shorr – 1,710,000 (57 bb)
Seat 2: Frank Stepuchin – 4,065,000 (135 bb)
Seat 3: Brent Roberts – 1,385,000 (46 bb)
Seat 4: Jonathan Abdellatif – 555,000 (18 bb)
Seat 5: Ray Qartomy – 820,000 (27 bb)
Seat 6: Steve Sung – 1,580,000 (52 bb)

Before Gardens, the World Poker Tour had previously opened each year with massive events in Atlantic City. The slight schedule change for 2019 didn’t change the Borgata Winter Poker Open’s turnout, as the event’s $3 million guarantee was shattered.
Thanks to an over 1,400-player field, over $4.5 million is up for grabs and the final table returns to play for $728,000 on March 13.
The Borgata Winter Poker Open final table lineup is provided below:
Seat 1. Ian O’Hara – 5,100,000 (34 bb)
Seat 2. Dave Farah – 18,850,000 (126 bb)
Seat 3. Joseph Di Rosa Rojas – 5,800,000 (39 bb)
Seat 4. Brandon Hall – 14,100,000 (94 bb)
Seat 5. Vinicius Lima – 3,550,000 (24 bb)
Seat 6. Daniel Buzgon – 9,100,000 (61 bb)
The final table payouts are also provided below:
1st: $728,430*
2nd: $485,611
3rd: $359,555
4th: $268,810

The last Las Vegas lineup will come from the legendary L.A. Poker Classic. The $10,000 buy-in event has been a World Poker Tour staple for years and past winners include Gus Hansen, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Ivey, Chris Moorman, and Anthony Zinno.
This year’s event will run from March 2-6 at The Commerce Hotel & Casino. Three qualifying High Roller of the Year events will run alongside the L.A. Poker Classic, including two $25,000 No Limit Hold’em events on March 4 & 5.

*The winner of each World Poker Tour event receives a $15,000 buy-in into the season-ending Baccarat Crystal WPT Tournament of Champions.
