What an exciting time it must be for all the players who are left in. Dreaming about winning $8,000,000 and becoming World Champion. I look forward to seeing who makes the final 9
*after 9 days and 6,710 eliminations* it is certainly very very many games ... and win big and title is very good but .... this is really a survival game ... here we must be very hardy and not physically lose the care for a long time ... who Whatever won the title - this is really the best player

I noticed a number of notable names in the field, which will give the final table great potential. Recognizable names include Cliff Josephy, James Obst, previous chip leader and 8-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Valentin Vornicu, Tom Marchese, Griffin Benger, and 2009 November Niner Antoine Saout. I can't wait to watch ESPN coverage!

Funny that not even one of them making into the final nine is fueling my interest in any way at all.
Posted by TheIrish77: The guy I would be worrying about is Tom Marchese, Straight up beast on the felt, So unassuming but plays like a champ. Can't wait for the November 9.
It seems like he did not make it onto the final table.

Most of the famous names I mentioned yesterday when 27 players were remained have already been eliminated except Cliff Josephy and Griffin Benger. It was really disappointing that Antoine Saout, a 2009 finalist, did not make the final table this year.
