WPT dream final table is shaping up at the LAPC, which probably means that it won’t happen [insert Debbie Downer music]. A healthy dose of skepticism is always a good thing, right? However, if this WPT dream final table does happen, the Entities who comprise Wicked Chops Poker promise you this: a minimum of 2 Entities will be in LA to pseudo-cover it.* That’s how big it’ll be. With 18 remaining at the end of Day 4, Phil Ivey is the chip leader, stacked at 1,543,000. He’s followed by relatively unknown but solid online pro Blair Hinkle (1,541,000). And he’s followed by 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth (1,399,000). And he’s followed by past WPT champ Nam Le (1,254,000). Also still in, although not big stacked (however, still very big racked) is Jennifer Tilly (417,000), as well as David Singer (285,000). Get full chip counts from the WPT site here. In related news, at press time the Blue Diamond Almonds Bold Player of the Day had not yet been picked. We mention this because we know that you are really, really curious. Not to ruin the surprise, but we’re guessing it’ll be Phil Hellmuth. If we’re right, expect a post bragging about how we were right. If we’re wrong, nothing. *Editor’s Note: Already happening regardless. Empty promise.

Action
(1) Opportunity for the player to act. Also, if a player doesn’t realize it’s his/her turn, the dealer will say “Your action, please.”
(2) Bets and raises. “If a third diamond hits the board and there’s a lot of action, you have to figure that somebody has made their flush.”
