Can professional poker player Ted Forrest make it half a dozen World Series of Poker (WSOP) winners' bracelets in a tournament tonight?

Ted Forrest, the professional poker player known as The Hitman, will win his sixth WSOP bracelet tonight if he can get the better of the final field in a $1,500 (£800) pot-limit Omaha with re-buys tournament.

Kyle Kloeckner is the current chip leader, but The Hitman will be looking to pounce at the Rio, Las Vegas, this evening.

Forrest will also have to contend with online poker player Michael Guzzardi and Layne Flack, another player chasing his sixth WSOP title, as well as a selection of other skillful card sharps.

Earlier this month, Forrest came second in WSOP event 16. The month-long gambling festival has now reached its 34th competition, and The Hitman will feel that it is time to secure his name in poker's history books.
