The World Series of Poker reached its final table and today (or this evening, depending on your time zone), we will see the November Niners back in action.

We have also setup a community vote a few days ago, if you're interested. Who do you think will win? Will Phil Ivey manage to take the whole thing down with his relatively short stack? Will Darvin Moon maintain his lead and eventually return home with the bracelet? Will Jeff Shulman actually throw the bracelet in the garbage if he wins the Main Event? Why are there so many questions? Let the hype begin!

Here are the chip stacks and seating of the November Niners:

Seat 1: Darvin Moon - 58,930,000 chips
Seat 2: James Akenhead - 6,800,000 chips
Seat 3: Phil Ivey - 9,765,000 chips
Seat 4: Kevin Schaffel - 12,390,000 chips
Seat 5: Steven Begleiter - 29,885,000 chips
Seat 6: Eric Buchman - 34,800,000 chips
Seat 7: Joe Cada - 13,215,000 chips
Seat 8: Antoine Saout - 9,500,000 chips
Seat 9: Jeff Shulman - 19,580,000 chips

Here is the payout for the Main Event Final Table:

1st place: $8,546,435
2nd place: $5,182,601
3rd place: $3,479,485
4th place: $2,502,787
5th place: $1,953,395
6th place: $1,587,133
7th place: $1,404,002
8th place: $1.300.228
9th place: $1.263.602

Is there anywhere to watch it online?


Not that I'm aware of DarkNeo, no, sorry.

James Akenhead to quickly double up courtesy of Moon (just a hopeful prediction), go the Brit _thumbsup:

Ivey has to be dangerous though even if he only had half a chip

The Final Table is set to start in approximately 9 hours. For the moment, there is no official stream announced by WSOP, but if there will be one, we will post the link in the OP.

What is so stupid. Why the **ck they can't make live feed from the event?? Is it so hard to do? Tons of people would like to watch live feed. I don't understand...

Thanks timukasr... will be listening...

I have searched high and low for a webcast and nada.... ESPN has the coverage rights, and it's PPV I believe... It is very disappointing and would be awesome to have this resolved to watch it live, in coming years it is a must... I mean it's like watching the Masters at Augusta or Wimbledon, why would you not show live final table action?? seriously a mistake on their behalf....


ESPN is broadcasting it on november 10. I have a livestream for that one if you want it ^^


coming years?:)
we are in 2009 it is not 1989. There is nothing hard to set up couple of webcams for the final table live feed, we don't even need this funnyass commentators to understand what is going on. And with some work invested u can make live final table feed awesome. And it won't harm ESPN's ratings for the show they make from WSOP because the only audence for internet live feed is internet poker geeks like us which in any way don't watch ESPN.
I don't understand the thinking of WSOP organisators
You can watch live final matches of starcraft or counter-strike from WCG but why can't you watch final table of WSOP??? There is no particular reason (exept lazyness maybe) not to make live feed from final table.

$$$


money you mean?


ESPN has an online channel, where you can watch for example European soccer matches in a live stream. I watched it at a friends place a few times. So they clearly have the technology set up to broadcast high quality live streams. And finding a few sponsors that will pop up every 5 minutes should be possible too...


this move will only boost their auditory.... it will be EV+ for ESPN:)))


i think live poker is just too boring to watch hand by hand on TV. They actually had a PPV feed for the 2007 ME FT, but AFAIK they abandoned it after that try.


If you have good commentary, elhh82, it's never boring! I'll tune into the radio though and see how good that is...


well, i don't think its boring too.

But i think we aren't exactly ESPN's target audience.
