Freddy Deeb Leads WPT Festa al Lago Final Table

Monday, 26 October 2009

Kassam "Freddy" Deeb, who has four previous final table appearances and two titles on the World Poker Tour in addition to a $50k HORSE bracelet from the WSOP, will be coming to the Festa al Lago final table with the chip lead and a good chance of winning the $1.2m first prize.

In an interview with PokerListings.com he said: "It never gets old making money," said the 2007 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. champion. "And I'm feeling very confident. I always feel confident. Otherwise I don't play. I really want to win though, and I'm definitely going to try my best.


"I'll just wait things out, see how it goes and see how they play. Every day is a different day."


Deeb leads the field with 3.8m chips but Ohio businessman Shawn Cunix is just a little behind him. Cunix has over $500,000 in career tournament earnings - a far cry from Deeb's $6.2m, but not bad for someone who considers himself a part-time poker player.


The full chip counts for the 2009 WPT Festa al Lago final table are as follows:


Freddy Deeb - 3.8 million


Shawn Cunix - 3.6 million


Tommy Vedes - 2.9 million


Craig Crivello - 2.5 million


Jason Lavallee - 2 million


Jason Burt - 1.3 million
