Jeremy White Leads the LAPC Pack Into Day 4

The Season XVI WPT L.A. Poker Classic $10,000 Championship is down to the final 31 players, with Jeremy White (pictured) and his stack of 1.552 million in the lead. Closest to White on the leaderboard is Manuel Martinez with 1.035 million, and then it’s Dennis Blieden rounding out the top three stacks with 907,000.

The remaining 31 players came from a 493-player field and are guaranteed $27,830 in prize money. First place is worth $1 million, including a $15,000 seat into the season-ending WPT Tournament of Champions at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas in May. The WPT L.A. Poker Classic winner will also take home a luxurious Hublot Big Bang Steel watch.

Joining White, Martinez, and Blieden for Day 4 will be reigning Hublot WPT Player of the Year Ben Zamani, new host of the WPT Raw Deal Phil Hellmuth, and WPT Champions Club members Zachary Smiley and Anthony Zinno.

Living legend Billy Baxter has also advanced to Day 4, coming in with a stack of 291,000.

Both Hellmuth and Josh Kay have the opportunity to not only win their first World Poker Tour title, but they could also supplant Art Papazyan as the frontrunner in the Hublot WPT Player of the Year race should they go on to victory.

Day 4 begins at 12 p.m. local time on Tuesday. The field is scheduled to play four 120-minute levels before calling it quits, and you can find continued coverage right here on WPT.com.
