The Bellagio Cup V, usually one of the World Poker Tour’s marquee events, reached final table play today. The final six players: Faraz Jaka — San Jose, CA — 5,041,000, Justin Smith — Kissimmee, FL — 2,992,000, Alec Torelli — Las Vegas, NV — 2,623,000, Erik Seidel — Las Vegas, NV — 2,170,000, Christoffer Sonesson — Lund, Sweden — 1,671,000, and Alexandre Gomes — Curitiba, Brazil — 1,586,000 emerged from 268 players at the $15,000 no limit hold em tournament. That was down substantially from Bellagio Cup IV’s 446 entrants, but the final six players will still be competing for a prize pool of nearly $3.9 million, with the winner taking home nearly $1.2 million.
