Hosting the ceremonies will be World College Poker Associate Producer and Podcast host,Ā Alec Rome, a junior at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Speaking of college students, that is who is competing in this international event that began back on July 24. Players from six global regions worked their way through three previous rounds to reach Saturday’s final table.

The WCP Main Event was open to college students aged 18 and overĀ who haveĀ valid student ID and are currently enrolled at college, university, or vocational school. (Those who have graduated from college recently — i.e., within the last three months — could play, too.)

Here is who made it:

Name Country Screen Name Chip Count
Gabriel Railman Argentina gabi98bac 464,517

Jeon Changhyun Republic of Korea JJackD 972,791
Pulkit Goyal India pulkitgoyal53 325,107
Ashutosh Balaprasad Karwa India RageAce00 185,611

The blinds will begin at 3,000/6,000 with a 750 ante, which means those short stacks will need to get active right away to challenge for the title.

The champ will receive a PokerStars European Poker Tour package worth about ā‚¬8,000 along with an engraved PokerStars trophy. The champ will also get poker gear, subscriptions, and other packages provided by the event’s many corporate sponsors. On top of that, the winner will play some more poker, too, in a heads-up match against high-stakes pro Patrik Antonius! (Details on that match to come.)

There are prizes for the runner-up as well. One is a three-day trip to Las Vegas for a live poker training session with poker pro Matt Berkey‘s Solve for Why Academy. The third-place finisher will also get a one-hour lesson with poker pro Jonathan Little of PokerCoaching.com as well as other packages and gear.
