The $50K PPC Final Table Is Live — Kristopher Tong Leads

The $50,000 Poker Players Championship final table is live right now at the Horseshoe — nine players, one bracelet, and Kristopher Tong's 2.43 million chips standing between everyone else and poker's most demanding trophy.

This is WSOP Event #60, the event that rotates through every major poker variant and crowns the best all-around player of the summer. No other bracelet event tests this many disciplines at this price point.

Benny Glaser has $8.87M in lifetime earnings and 35 final tables but zero bracelets — the PPC would be one hell of a first.

The Stacks Right Now

Tong — a one-bracelet winner with $1.07M in career cashes — holds the chip lead at 2,428,000. But the gap at the top is razor-thin.

Benny Glaser sits second with 2,286,000. The British mixed-game specialist has $8.87M in lifetime earnings and 35 career final tables, yet zero bracelets. That stat alone makes him the most compelling storyline at this table.

Maxx Coleman (1,917,000) brings two bracelets, three Circuit rings, and $3.17M in career earnings. Matthew Glantz (1,480,000) has been a fixture in high-stakes mixed games for over a decade — $4.49M in lifetime cashes across 23 final tables, still hunting bracelet number one.

And then there's Chris Brewer at 1,253,000. Two bracelets. Two rings. $15.5M in lifetime earnings. Thirty-five final tables. Brewer has more career earnings than the rest of the top five combined except Glaser.

What to Watch For

The PPC rotates formats every level — Limit Hold'em, Razz, Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi-Lo, PLO, 2-7 Triple Draw, No-Limit Hold'em. Chip leads can evaporate the moment the game changes to a variant that doesn't suit the leader's strengths.

With Tong and Glaser separated by roughly 140,000 chips and Brewer lurking with the deepest résumé at the table, this final table has no clear favorite.
