It's a big weekend for the World Poker Tour (WPT) in Las Vegas, and it began Friday with one major event playing down to a final table and another crowning a champion.
Six players in Northern California waited nearly two months to play the $5,300 buy-in WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star Championship to a winner. But the players headed south to Las Vegas — more specifically, the Wynn — to compete at the final table during the WPT World Championship festival, and it was Kharlin Sued who got the job done in dominant fashion, with minimal competition, to win $480,700.
