There are only nine players remaining in the World Series of Poker Europe Oktoberfest event (Event #2: €550 No-Limit Hold'em) after four days of play. All nine finalists have so far secured a €16,935 payday by outlasting 2,135 other entries over four days of play, and on today's final table they will battle it out for a coveted gold bracelet and a $157,749 first-place prize!
