November Nine is Set at WSOP

The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event is down to the final table. The "November Nine" will square off November 5th through November 7th with the action airing on ESPN on November 8th.

November Nine chip count:

1. Martin Staszko - Czech Republic - 40,175,000
2. Eoghan O'Dea - Ireland - 33,925,000
3. Matt Giannetti - Las Vegas, USA - 24,750,000
4. Phil Collins - Las Vegas, USA - 23,775,000
5. Ben Lamb - Tulsa, USA - 20,875,000
6. Badih Bounahra - Belize - 19,700,000
7. Pius Heinz - Germany - 16,425,000
8. Anton Makiievskyi - Ukraine - 13,925,000
9. Sam Holden - United Kingdom - 12,375,000

It's a very young final table, with 7 of the 9 players 26 years old or younger. Poker is increasingly an international game, as only 3 of the players are from the USA (2 playing out of Las Vegas).
