ACR Team Pro makes first WSOP Final Table
By Bob Garcia
Our ACR Team Pros have been creating quite the ruckus out in Las Vegas with Season 2 of our Punters’ Pad series, but they are also making big noise on the felt.
Jon Van Fleet made his first-ever WSOP Final Table yesterday and he couldn’t hide his emotions as evidenced by the Tweet he made late last night in Vegas:
Bagging for the night! There’s 7 left as we chase our first bracelet!
And thank you to everyone for the kind words of encouragement and especially my amazing rail!
See y’all tomorrow 🦍 @BBZPoker @ACR_POKER @PocketSnailsNFT pic.twitter.com/hfmNVoQFpt

The event is the WSOP #57: $600 Deepstack Championship No-Limit Hold’em. There are only seven players remaining and Jon is second with 32,800,000 in chips. First place is scheduled to win just under $300,000 and the top-4 prizes are all at least $100,000, so there’s a lot of money on the line.
Here’s a look at the seven remaining players and their chip counts: Note they are all Americans except Tsuf Saltsberg and Tamas Lendvai.
Alex Jim: 36,300,000
Jon Van Fleet: 32,800,000
Tsuf Saltsberg: 27,200,000
Abdullah Alshanti: 19,800,000
Frank Reichel: 13,000,000
Daniel Marcus: 10,600,000
Tamas Lendvai: 7,800,000
The Final Table is being played today in Sin City. The entire Americas Cardroom staff, along with the rest of the Team Pros, wish Jon good luck as he goes for his first WSOP bracelet.
