Deeb Seeks Record-Tying WPT Win Today

The WPT Festa al Lago final table gets underway this afternoon/eve (4pm PT). After all the early tourney hubbub about super-late registrations and related blind structures, the final table looks not unlike just about every other WPT final table — with one well-known pro, one kinda-sorta known pro (Vedes), and four other guys.
Freddy Deeb is the chip leader going into today’s action, but not by much. This is Deeb’s fifth WPT final table (out of 70 appearances) and stands to be his third win, which would tie the WPT bracelet record currently held by Gus Hansen. Deeb also has two WSOP bracelets to his name.
The Festa al Lago final table, by chip count, with seats yet to be drawn:
1. Freddy Deeb – 3,840,000
2. Shawn Cunix – 3,670,000
3. Tommy Vedes – 2,990,000
4. Craig Crivello – 2,570,000
5. Jason Lavallee – 2,045,000
6. Jason Burt – 1,375,000

Apparently, Shawn Cunix isn’t the greatest boss in the world:

The Phoenix-erati would like to send all of our good luck thoughts to Craig Crivello. Used to live here, good guy. Great taste in dogs.
Good luck Craig, take it down!
