The 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table - the November 9

The 2008 World Series of Poker main event final table is about to make history.  Normally the WSOP main event is played out to one winner or champion in one continuous event.  Not so this year.

Last July, the main event of the 2008 World Series of Poker was played from 6844 players down to the final nine.  Instead of completing the event and producing a winner of the top prize of $9.1 million, the completion was set for a later date.

We are 6 days from the completion of the 2008 World Series of Poker main event final table.  Planned for November 9th on ESPN, the event will be played down to 2 players.  Late on the 10th they will battle it out for the main event title, the bracelet and the 9 million dollar first place prize.  It is explected to be completed sometime early on the 11th of November.
