WSOP 9 at the Final Poker Table

Some very exciting news on the World Series of Poker Main Event as nine poker players are left standing and the worst they can do is make $1.25 Million if they are knocked out first.  These 9 challenged a field of 6,494 players and are the last men standing.

Newcomer Darvin Moon has the commanding chip lead with 58,930,000 chips but if you've been watching the excitement, you know that he has some impressive competition.  Poker professional Phil Ivey is favored by many fans eventhough his chip stack is the third lowest on the table at $9,765,000.

The final 9 also include James Akenhead, Antoine Saout, Eric Buchman, Steven Begleiter, Jeff Shulman, Joe Cada, and Kevin Schaffel.  Here's how the game will be played.  On November 7 they will all meet to play the final round of the World Series of Poker Main Event.  They will play until there are only two players left.  On November 9 these two players will finish play and it will be broadcast on ESPN on Tuesday, November 10.  At this point, it's anyone's game.  Will you be watching on Tuesday and who do you think will take it down?
