After a long grueling day, the 2010 WSOP Main Event final table has been settled. The November Nine, the nine players who will commence playing in November at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino to compete for the Main Event WSOP bracelet, will be Jonathan Duhamel (chip leader with about 66 million chips), John Dolan (46 million chips), Joseph Cheong (23 million chips), John Racener (19 million), Matthew Jarvis (16.7 million chips), Filippo Candio (16.4 million chips), Michael Mizrachi (14 million), Soi Nguyen (9 million chips), and Jason Senti (7 million chips).
Bottom place is guaranteed $811K, and the first place winner is guaranteed to take home $8.9+ million. At about 5:40 a.m., only about 18 hours after they began on Saturday, chip leader, Duhamel, said, “I’m about to die right now. I’m very, very tired.” He added, “I’m just going to go off with my family and friends and relax a little bit and be focused and ready to come back in November,” the online poker pro from Canada added.
Mizrachi, in 7th place in terms of chips, said, “I knew that after Day 1, if I had a big stack, there would be so much bad play and (so many) inexperienced players I could chip up, chip up, chip up.” He continued, “I played Day 1A, and I knew that was the probably the best day to play, because there would be a smaller field. July 4th was the day before and I knew all the pros weren’t going to play—they were going out partying. I knew it was going to be a weaker field…and I picked them apart.”
He further explained of his competition, “I have a pretty good idea on how every single player plays here. Hopefully, I can do what I did in the Poker Players Championship,” for which he hopes to take home the win.
