Season 18 is underway in Las Vegas, as six remaining players take their seats for a shot at over half a million dollars. Kevin Lui will attempt to win back-to-back titles after finishing first in the WPT Venetian for $752,880. This will be the first WPT final table appearance for Straton Wilhelm who will be looking to have his name engraved on the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup, but to do that he needs to outplay chip leader and seasoned professional Chance Kornuth along the way.
