Matt Salsberg Makes Back-to-Back WPT Final Tables

Day 3 at the World Poker Tour Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a long one at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in South Florida. Cards got into the air for the returning field of 36 players at 1 p.m. ET and the WPT final table of six wasn’t set until 4 a.m. The final table is going to be a good one, making the long wait worth it. The wait between final tables wasn’t a long one at all for Matt Salsberg though. After finishing in sixth place at the Borgata Winter Poker Open last week, he is guaranteed to at least match that performance here in Florida.

Salsberg is joined by Matt Giannetti (final table chip leader), Darryll Fish, Danny Shiff, Lily Kiletto, and Hayden Fortini. Each of these six finalists will take home at least $50,968 at Tuesday’s final table. Here is a look at the seating chart and chip counts for the final table.

Seat 1: Matt Giannetti – 3,005,000
Seat 2: Lily Kiletto – 860,000
Seat 3: Darryll Fish – 2,660,000
Seat 4: Matt Salsberg – 980,000
Seat 5: Hayden Fortini – 1,620,000
Seat 6: Danny Shiff – 1,930,000
