Stout heads final 10 at World Poker Finals
By PokerlifeGuide • November 9th, 2009
The PokerListings’ blogger and esteemed online pro amassed 2.1 million chips on Day 4 of the WPT World Poker Finals in Foxwoods yesterday.
With 10 players remaining, Stout now not only has a good shot of reaching the final table of six players today but winning it all tomorrow.
The competition will be fierce, however, as respected pros Adam “Roothlus” Levy, Lee Markholt, Kenna James, Eric Froehlich, Cornel Andrew Cimpan, Soheil Shamseddin and consummate WPT casher Steve Brecher are all still in the running.
The lesser-known Curt Kohlberg and Tom Dobrilovic round out the last 10 players.
Despite a schedule that conflicts with the 2009 WSOP Main Event, the World Poker Finals still managed to draw 353 players, creating a prize pool of $3.3 million and $910,000 designated for first place.
Todd Terry, Christian Harder, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Victor Ramdin, Liv Boeree, Brock Parker, Billy Kopp and Chad Batista were just some of the big-name pros that bought into the $10,000 event.
Fellow PokerListings’ blogger Jason Mercier finished in 21st place for $26,571.
Stout has been on somewhat of a heater as of late. The Lock Poker pro went deep at the 2009 WPT Festa al Lago before eventually busting out in 13th for $39,760.
The World Poker Finals resume at 12 p.m. ET today. Keep checking Stout’s blog on PokerListings for the inside scoop on the event as he posts frequently.
Here are the end of Day 4 chip counts:
1. Matt Stout – 2,101,000
2. Cornel Andrew Cimpan – 1,554,000
3. Soheil Shamseddin – 1,233,000
4. Kenna James – 1,217,000
5. Curt Kohlberg – 1,127,000
6. Adam “Roothlus” Levy – 892,000
7. Eric Froehlich – 714,000
8. Steve Brecher – 660,000
9. Tom Dobrilovic – 565,000
10. Lee Markholt – 480,000
