The final table is set. After 4 days of play, the record field of 593 players has become only 8. These 8 finalist are now about to fight for a first place prize of €1,400,000! New Yorker Elio Fox leads the pack as the other 7 players take their seats. Fox created a name for himself in the poker world when he took home the Bellagio Cup championship earlier this year, played in Las Vegas. Then he received about $680,000. Now he has the chance to win 3 times that amount!
The biggest name on the final table is, of course, Jake Cody from England. Earlier this year Cody won his first WSOP gold bracelet. He has also won an EPT event in Deauville and a WPT event in London, giving him "Poker's Triple Crown". Add to that that he has made it deep into the money in many other major poker tournaments.
