Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Poker legend Chris Ferguson reached the final table in LA Poker Classic. Out of the 696 players that participated in this tournament there are now only 6 players remaining with a chance to take down the first prize of $1.7 Million.

The WPT event LA Poker Classic is currently being played in Los Angeles. After five days of play 690 player out of the original 696 that started the tournament has been knocked out.

One of these players is the Team FullTilt Poker member Chris “Jesus” Ferguson who currently has $1.56 Million in chips which makes him the short stack at the final table.

In the lead we find Chris Karagulleyan who has already won a WPT title back in 2002 when he won the Legends of Poker event on the World Poker Tour circuit. Karagulleyan has over $4 Million in chips and in second place we find Mike Sowers with $2.4 Million in chips.

It will be very interesting to see if Chris Ferguson will finally manage to win his first WPT title.
