partypoker WPT Montreal Final Table Preview

The weather in Montreal has been ice cold since the start of  the partypoker WPT Montreal Main Event but all that is about to change … this are about to heat up at the Playground Poker Club as the final table is set…

PAHUJA’S OPPORTUNITY

Many pros are looking for Mukul Pahuja (GPI#310) to take over the final table in search of his first major title. The American pro came very close to big win #1 this summer when he finished in third position at the Seminole Hard Rock Open, earning close to 1M USD for the big score.

Pahuja has tons of experience on the World Poker Tour and should be considered a serious threat at the final table.

SIEBERT, KILETTO FINAL TABLE AGAIN

The name Sylvain Siebert (GPI#8614) may ring a bell … in fact, this isn’t Siebert’s first WPT rodeo as he final tabled this asme event last November, finishing in fifth position.

Siebert will begin Thursday’s play with the final table chip lead.

Lily Kiletto (GPI#1662) has also final tabled on the WPT before … Kiletto was runner-up to Matt Giannetti (GPI#125) at the WPT Lucky Hearts Open at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida back in February.

Kiletto is the person who’s gone the deepest in a major event at the final table.
