After four days of intense play the World Poker Tour (WPT) LA Poker Classic finally narrowed to the final set of players. These six players will be taking part at the 6-handed final table. The players who made it to the final table this time are relatively unknown but they have proved to be pretty skillful, so the final stage of the tournament should be an interesting show.

Amongst the notables who bounced out just before the final table bubble were Carlos ‘El Matador’ Mortensen, Annie Duke and Steve Sung. They hit the rail in 9th, 19th and 8th, respectively.

The final table will be broadcasted on TV as play wraps up tomorrow March 4th at 4pm PT.  Now in the lead is Andras Koroknai with almost 5,000,000 chips. Koroknai is followed by Raymond Dolan who has 3,300,000 chips. The winner will take home $1.79 million with the 6th place finisher getting $246,000.

This is the final table set-up:

• Andras Koroknai 4,995,000
• Raymond Dolan 3,300,000
• Tri Huynh 2,565,000
• Gevork Kasabyan 2,000,000
