The stage is set for the final table at the Festa al Lago World Poker Tour event. The 275 entrants have been whittled down to the final 6 and all the preliminary activities that go along with a televised final table are about wrapped up, leaving just the poker to determine the champion.

Freddy Deeb is the WOT regular at the final table, but the other 5 all want to make their mark on the tour and more importantly take home the $1.2 million top prize. The blinds will continue at the 40k / 80k 5k ante level to start the day and once that level is complete the cost of poker goes to 50k / 100k with a 10k ante.

Here is how the players are lined up. Tommy Vedes is in the 1 seat, Jason “StatusUp” Lavallee in the 2 seat, Craig Crivello in the 3 seat, chip leader Freddy Deeb in the 4 seat, Jason Burt in the 5 seat and Shawn Cunix in the 6 seat.

Freddy Deeb takes a slight chip lead into final table play. Here is how the final 6 stack up to start the day:
