WSOP main event down to the last table
July 16, 2008
Theyʼve finally done it, the main event which started out with 6,844 has now been whittled
down to just the final 9 players.
Dennis Phillips who led the final 27 has managed to maintain his lead which he is
absolutely thrilled about. Of course the new format means that unlike in previous years,
the players will not be coming back to finish off the event until November. The aim of this
ʻgapʼ is to build tension and momentum and encourage more excitement to surround the
tournament.
Here is what the final table looks like and who will be competing in November for the
massive $9 million first prize:
Dennis Phillips 53, St. Louis, Missouri, 26,295,000
Ivan Demidov, 27, Moscow, Russia, 24,400,000
Scott Montgomery, 26, Perth, Ontario, Canada, 19,690,000
Peter Eastgate, 22, Odense, Denmark, 18,375,000
Ylon Schwartz, 38, Brooklyn, New York, 12,525,000
Darus Suharto, 39, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 12,520,000
David Rheem, 28, Los Angeles, California, 10,230,000
Craig Marquis, 23, Arlington, Texas, 10,210,000
Kelly Kim, 31, Whittier, California, 2,620,000
After such a grueling day at the green felt, no doubt the players will have a good rest
before they start preparing for the event in November.
