El telón del poker mundial en 2019 está por cerrar y el WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic es uno de los últimos torneos que está reuniendo a grandes jugadores de todo el mundo.

El Bellagio Resort & Casino en Las Vegas es el escenario donde se está llevando la acción del 16 al 21 de diciembre con un buy-in de US$10.400 y en la que aún quedan 415 jugadores de las 705 entradas registradas. 

El venezolano Joseph Di Rosa y Farid Jattin son los únicos latinos que aún tienen aspiraciones en la competencia  junto a otros conocidos jugadores que han logrado avanzar al Día 2 que se estará jugando a partir de las 12 (12  13 11 14 ).
