Jeremy Becker, Once a Daily Tournament Crusher, Now a WPT Day 5 Chip Leader
The WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas has reached Day 5, with just six spots left at the final table. Players are now guaranteed at least $145,000, but the winner will take home over $2.5 million. The action resumes at 12:30 p.m. PT, with high stakes and a long session ahead.
Day 4 saw intense competition, with Soheb Porbandarwala leading for most of the session. However, he finished third in chips, holding 18,975,000. Jeremy Becker, a standout player with eight Wynn tournament wins in 2023, now leads with 24,300,000 chips.
Jeremy Brown sits close behind in second place, holding 21,350,000. Konstantin Held also remains in contention with 6,500,000 chips. Other familiar names still in the running include Maxx Coleman, Linglin Zeng, and Jared Jaffee. The buy-in for this event was $10,400, but the remaining players now face a gruelling push for the final table. Reaching the top six guarantees a minimum payout of $540,000, with the champion earning $2,528,200.
Day 5 will continue until only six players remain. The session promises high drama, with Becker and Brown holding the largest stacks. The final table will decide who walks away with the multi-million-dollar prize.
