Reichard Ready to Grab a WPT Title After Leading Final 16 in WPT SHRPS

Summary:

• Josh Reichard has bagged an important chip lead at the Final 16 table at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship.
• The Wisconsin player finished Day 3 with a stack consisting of more than 200 big blinds after he also bagged the Day 2 chip lead.
• If he comes out with flying colors, Reichard will take home $839,300 and the Mike Sexton WPT Championship Cup.

Fifteen-time Circuit ring winner Josh Reichard is getting ready to add a prestigious World Poker Tour title to his resume, and his latest accomplishment as a chip leader at the Final 16 table in the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship is solid proof of how far his determination can go.

The Janesville, Wisconsin player also ended Day 3 with a massive stack consisting of more than 200 big blinds.

Reichard also bagged the Day 2 chip lead.

$839,300 Prize on the Table

Provided he keeps up the momentum and comes out with flying colors, Reichard, who has accumulated $3,183,799 in total live earnings, will grab the top prize of $839,300.

A win will also see his name written on the Mike Sexton WPT Championship Cup.

In order to taste the sweet victory, however, Reichard will need to get through a field featuring poker prodigies like Jesse Lonis and Landon Tice.

Jesse Lonis has not busted a Main Event in eight tournament days at the venue. The player chopped the Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship three ways for $404,267 at the start of the year.

Reichard will also compete against 2018 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic winner Dylan Linde who is the only WPT Champions Club member standing in the field.

A few weeks ago, Linde won a $10,000 High Roller on the WPT Voyage, taking home $230,467.

Day 4 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23 at noon local time. The blinds will be the same 50,000/100,000/100,000 as when the play ended on Day 3.

The last six players standing will bag up prior to going to Las Vegas where the final table will be broadcast live on TV on May 29.
