WSOP ME Final Table

6,358 players started the WSOP
Main Event on July 6th.
Nine days later, 36 players remained
in the field. Sunday's Day 6 required a
grueling 16 hours of play to get from the
36 players down to a final nine, finally
reached when Scotty Nguyen (out 11th)and
Steven Garfinkle (out 10th) exited at the end
of play. Players starting Day Six were
guaranteed a minimum of $285,678.

Here are the seating assignments and
chip counts for Tuesday's final table:
Seat 1: Jon Kalmar – 20,320,000
Seat 2: Lee Childs – 13,240,000
Seat 3: Philip Hilm – 22,070,000
Seat 4: Jerry Yang – 8,450,000
Seat 5: Raymond Rahme – 16,320,000
Seat 6: Tuan Lam – 21,315,000
Seat 7: Alex Kravchenko – 6,570,000
Seat 8: Lee Watkinson – 9,925,000
Seat 9: Hevad Khan – 9,205,000

Looks like it could be a real
exciting final table with no
landslide chip leader.


I think that the blinds will start at
$100,000/$200,000 with an $30,000 ante
...so the short stacks will have about
50 big blinds to work with starting out.


And here's what they're playing for:
1st: $8,250,000
2nd: $4,840,981
3rd: $3,048,025
