The WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star is finally down to the six players who will make up the WPT televised final table, and, against all odds (or maybe predictably since they are supposed to be the best of the best), there is a "Shooting Star" left in the tournament.

Poker pro Kathy Liebert is the last $5,000 bounty left in the field and has an uphill climb ahead of her if she hopes to keep her own bounty by winning the tournament as she has the third-smallest chip stack at the table (1,180,000). Oh, and she'll also get to go home with that $1,025,500 first-place prize if she can pull it off.

All players at the final table will be chasing current chip leader Tony Behari (2,046,000), who is followed closely by Steve Brecher (2,016,000). Sitting in third at the final table will be Chris Moore (1,476,000) with Liebert at her sixth WPT final table right behind him. Next up is Thao Le (711,000), and the short-stack is Chau Vu (352,000).

The players will have quite some time to rest and prepare as play does not get underway again until 4pm PT (7pm ET). So, head over to WorldPokerTour.com for live updates and come back here for a wrap up. You can also qualify online for the WPT through Bodog Poker and the Bodog Flight Club promotion.
