Koroknai Takes the Final Table at the 5th Day of the World Poker Tour LA Poker Classic
Six players remained to compete for the TV final table during the tough 5th day of the World Poker Tour LA Poker Classic. Tuesday was the day when 22 players compete at the Commerce Casino after noon. For about 15 hours and nine levels, finally, the final table on Thursday has been set. Unfortunately for Jim Casement, he took the TV Bubble boy title. He was looked up by the chip leader Andras Koroknia and Casement got no help from the board, thus gaving the opportunity to Koroknia to be into the TV final table.
Koroknia should eliminate two dangerous players in order to hold his title having the most number of chips. He successfully eliminated Johnny Chan who took the 12th place and Steve Sung. Sung raised the bet to 130,000 from the cutoff and Koroknia increased it making it 320,000. Competing with Koroknia, Sung’s tournament is at stake. He ended at eight place.
Mortensen started the fifth day with the leading chips however he ended in ninth place. He made wrong step as the day starts and was not able to recover as the day continues. His luck the previous day was not the same on the fifth day.
