The other feature tables will include the first female professional player to advance this far in NHPC history, Kristy Gazes, against 'Downtown' Chad Brown; Season IV World Poker Tour Player of the Year Gavin Smith against 2006 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event runner-up Andy Bloch; and a match-up between two of poker's emerging stars Paul Wasicka and Nam Le.
The four players who advance to the semi-final are guaranteed at least $125,000. The finale will air the following weekend on 20 May 2007 and will see finalists compete for a $1.5 million purse.
