The 2022 WPT Tampa Championship is down to its last two tables; 16 players with a chance to put their name on the WPT Champions Cup.

Fred Paradis leads the field when they return at noon with 15 tough players trying to overtake him. They will continue their day until only six players remain to form the six-handed WPT final table for tomorrow.

Everyone is guaranteed at least $32,000 but they all want the $615,050 top prize that will go out tomorrow.

They will play out the last 30 minutes of Level 26 and a full 90-minute Level 27 before taking their first break. The blinds are 50,000/75,000 with a 75,000 ante and the average stack is about 3,650,000 (49 bb).
