After two days of action at WSOP.com<\/strong>, the final table is now set in the World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event<\/strong>. The action now shifts to live play at the Rio<\/strong> in Las Vegas on Dec. 28<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joseph Hebert<\/strong> returns as chip leader when play resumes. The final table of the GGPoker<\/strong> international half was set for Tuesday at King\u2019s Casino<\/strong> in the Czech Republic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two winners then battle it out heads-up on Dec. 30<\/strong> at the Rio for the bracelet and $1 million<\/strong>. It\u2019s been a unique Main Event, but the end appears now in site barring any COVID-related setbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

A look at the WSOP Main Event final table<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"
Joseph Hebert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hebert hails from Metairie, Louisiana<\/strong>, and looks to be in the driver\u2019s seat when action resumes. With more than twice his nearest opponent, he\u2019ll have plenty of chips to battle with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three-time bracelet winner Upeshka De Silva<\/strong> may be the most recognizable name remaining in the field. He emerged from Day 1 as chip leader, but now finds himself with work to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Silva sits in eighth and looks to be the most experienced player on this stage. When looking at US online poker markets, three players remain from New Jersey<\/strong> and one from Pennsylvania<\/strong>. Here\u2019s a look at all the final table players.<\/span><\/p>\n
