Blowup Alert: Hellmuth "Traps" Ivey with the Worst Hand
The World Poker Tour Rolling Thunder Main Event Final Table was set after the field was trimmed to 57 players down to a final six. Out in front with a sizable chip lead is Mike Del Vecchio with 4.2 million with John Hadley trailing with 2.9 million in second.
Unfortunately for the top two stacks, three of the best end-game players: Sorel Mizzi, Connor Drinnan and Olivier Busquet are all at the final table. Busquet is the only former WPT champion but Mizzi has three WPT tables and $11 million overall in his career while Drinan collects his sixth WPT cash.
Despite Drinan’s $10.5 million in career earnings, he’s not immune to final table nerves.
