Foxwoods Poker Classic Final Table Set

The Final table for the Foxwoods Poker Classic is set with two top name pros vying for the title. Eric Seidl and Ted Forrest are the two chip leaders for what should be an excellent final table. The World Poker Tour event at Foxwoods has suffered in popularity the last couple of years and this year’s field was down to only 346 players. That still made for a prize pool of almost 3.5 million with the first place prize of $967,300 and a $25,000 seat at the WPT Championship.

Challenging Seidl and Forrest at the final table will be Internet pro Adam Katz, Frank Cieri, Robert Richardson, and Andrew Barta. Here is a look at the chip counts and seat positions for the Final table of the Foxwoods Poker Classic.

Seat 1: Erik Seidel - 3,820,000
