The televised WPT final table at the World Poker Challenge is now set and poker pro David "The Dragon" Pham will be hunting his first WPT title this evening when play gets underway.

Pham is no stranger to WPT final tables, this will actually be his sixth, but he has yet to seal the deal and take home a trophy. Unfortunately, he will have an uphill battle to reach that goal as the two-time WSOP bracelet winner is sitting in fourth place with 406,000 in chips.

The current chip leader with 1,156,000 in chips is Aussie Millions mugging victim and midnight-snacker Jason Potter, who will try to slay "The Dragon" just like his famous brother, Harry, did in that one movie where he had to get the egg from the dragon, but then the dragon broke free and chased him all over the place on his broom and he almost died but beat the dragon in the end. Poker is safer, but much more real.

Just behind Potter is (Dumbledore, zing!) poker pro Lee Markholt (1,137,000), followed by Bryan Devonshire (674,000). The short-stacks at the final table are Zach Hyman (285,000), who is finally getting some revenge after being a short-stack at life with that last name, and Jeff DeWitt (249,000).

The final table will kick off at 5pm local time today and will end when the $493,815 first-place prize has been awarded to the victor.
