Final Table : World Poker Tour Legends of Poker

Six survivors pursue a main prize of $750 000
 
The excitement is mounting at the Bicycle in Los Angeles as the final table of the $5 000 buy-in World Poker Tour Legends of Poker starts Wednesday with a $750 000 main prize awaiting the winner.
 
The original field of 462 has now been distilled to just six players, led by Andrew Frankenberger on 3 015 000:
 
Tom Lee – 2,915,000
Kyle Wilson – 2,854,000 
Jared Jaffee – 1,006,000
Tom Braband – 968,000
Franco Brunetti – 800,000
 
Tuesday's Day 4 action saw the 15 remaining players whittled down to the final six, among them three-time champ Jonathan Little, who had a great day but was eliminated by Wall Street trader turned poker pro Frankenburger in the 12th spot, taking home $24 000.
 
For Tom Braband, who has given a thoroughly good account of himself throughout the event, Wednesday's final table will be a new experience under the lights and cameras of close-up television coverage. In his last Legends Braband managed only a 23rd finish and is determined to continue his improvement this year.
 
"I'm just going to try and focus on the players at the table and pick my spots," he said. "I feel like I have a good read on these guys. I know it's going to be loud in there and I've never played in front of the cameras before but I'm not going to confuse nervousness with excitement. I'll be ready to play."
 
Franco Brunetti, a restauranteur playing in his home city, has likewise not been under lights and camera in a final before, but is equally confident that he can prevail. "I'm just going to do my thing," he said after Day 4.
