November 9 Final Table Set

The World Series of Poker is officially over for now and will conclude in November; this week the players who will hit the final table in November were determined.

The November Nine, as the group is called, will take a recess until the tournament restarts on Nov. 5. The winner will likely be determined two days later as reported by best online poker sites.

The nine players represent nearly every corner of the world and will likely head home from Las Vegas as celebrities in their communities. By the time they return to Las Vegas to play those final hands, they will have been interviewed dozens of times and will be ready for the media onslaught that occurs during November Nine play.

The players who sit at that final table are each guaranteed no less than $780,000 in prize money. The ultimate winner will take home more than $8.7 million.

The nine players who will head back to Vegas in November are:

Matt Giannetti, who is from Las Vegas, Nev.
Badih Bou-Nahra, who is from Belize
Eoghan O’Dea, who is from Ireland
Phil Collins, who is from Las Vegas, Nev.
Anton Makiievskyi, who is from the Ukraine
