+ After hours and hours and days and days of the 2009 World Series of toto hk, we have finally reached the final table of the Main Event. The mysterious November 9 have emerged from the sea of tables clustered inside the Rio. This year’s group is a diverse mix of people, from rank-amateurs through online wizards, right up to a man at the very top of the game. There’s even a villain who has trashed the prestigious nature of the competition in favor of a rebellious spectacle. In short, it looks set to be one of the most interesting final tables in recent memory.
+ The introduction in 2008 of the 4-month final table delay has made the characters at the final table all the more important. From now until they reconvene, the focus will be on their personalities and poker credentials. So who are these illustrious finalists?
+ *
+ Darvin Moon (58,930,000)
+ The outright chip leader is every bit the every-man. A self employed logger who won his entry via a charity tournament, Darvin is the archetypal amateur making good on the American Dream. The Oakland native has been more than modest, attributing his huge chip stack to a lucky run of hands. Of the 6,494 players who entered the main event Darvin quipped that, “I’d guess about 6,300 of them are better poker players than I am.”
+ Some members of the media have been quick to draw comparisons between Moon and Moneymaker. Hopes are that a Darvin victory, combined with the annulment of the UIGEA, will spark of a second poker-boom. As it stands the affable 45 year-old has given a lukewarm reception to the wave of media attention headed in his direction. According to PokerRoad.com he doesn’t have an email address and has claimed that, “As soon as I go home, I go back into the woods. When it’s time to come out, I’ll come out.”
+ James Akenhead (6,800,000)
+ The UK pro is unequivocally the short stack, and faces a tall order to make it to the final few players. The 25 year old has had a string of successes across the UK and is generally regarded as one of the nation’s finest players. PokerStars is claiming that James qualified for the main event via one of their online satellites, but he was sporting large Full Tilt patches in post-tournament interviews. Despite his excitement at reaching the November 9, James is behaving like the consummate professional player. “To win, you have to be focused on coming first. The fame that comes with all this is obviously big, but I haven’t thought too much about it. I’m just going to take it as it comes and focus on the poker.”
+ Phil Ivey (9,765,000)
+ The one man at the final table who needs no introduction. When you ask the top professionals who they think is the finest poker player in the world you hear the name Phil Ivey mentioned more than any other. His presence at this final table plays a large part in making this such an intriguing contest. He has typically shunned media attention, but will undoubtedly become the focus of the hype as it builds toward November 7th.
