The WSOP Main Event Final Table all Set
The World Series of Poker in Las Vegas came to an end this week with the final table of the main event being decided, and the November NIne all lined up and ready for a welcome break before they resume later this year to decide the winner. The main event this year was a thriller of a ride with plenty of twists and turns, however now the last 9 players have been decided and the wait begins. From a massive field of 6,352 players from a total of 83 different countries we are down to the final 9 who will battle it out for the number 1 prize in the poker world and the huge cash amount of $8.3 million. The $10,000 buy in event, the 44th to be held saw many players changing for the lead, and some big names of the game running deep and looking good, however the end result is a final table that does not include any of the huge names in poker, with probably the most recognizable player being J.C Tran, however there are some seriously good players in the mix who have plenty of big tournament wins to their names.The Players who Return in November
