\tAfter seven long days of poker played out over a week-and-a-half, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event has at last reached its November Nine. The Netherlands\u2019 Jorryt van Hoof will have the chip lead when play resumes this fall as only the second Dutchman ever to make a WSOP Main Event final table, while Mark Newhouse became the first player in a decade to return to the final table a second straight year.<\/p>\n
\tUnlike in 2013 when Newhouse entered the final table short on chips, this year he\u2019ll be in third position behind van Hoof and Felix Stephensen of Norway. Joining those three will be the Spaniard Andoni Larrabe, Sweden\u2019s Martin Jacobson, three Americans \u2014 Dan Sindelar, William Pappaconstantinou, and William Tonking \u2014 and the first Brazilian ever to make a WSOP final table, Bruno Politano.<\/p>\n
\tHere\u2019s how the chips fell by the end of play last night:
\n\tPosition\tPlayer\tCountry\tChips
\n\t1\tJorryt van Hoof\tNetherlands\t38,375,000
\n\t2\tFelix Stephensen\tNorway\t32,775,000
\n\t3\tMark Newhouse\tUSA\t26,000,000
\n\t4\tAndoni Larrabe\tSpain\t22,550,000
\n\t5\tDan Sindelar\tUSA\t21,200,000
\n\t6\tWilliam Pappaconstantinou\tUSA\t17,500,000
\n\t7\tWilliam Tonking\tUSA\t15,050,000
\n\t8\tMartin Jacobson\tSweden\t14,900,000
\n\t9\tBruno Politano\tBrazil\t12,125,000<\/p>\n
\tIt has been a long haul getting to this highly-anticipated moment. The World Series of Poker Main Event began on July 5, and after 10 days of poker action at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the final table of nine players has finally been reached.<\/p>\n
\tThese final nine players have bagged up their chips for the last time this summer and will all collect the minimum ninth-place money of $730,725. They will return to the big stage in November to compete for the top prize of $10 million, the gleaming WSOP bracelet, and the unmatched prestige of becoming only the 45th person in poker history to claim the title of WSOP Champion.<\/p>\n
\tThe last of the Canadians were eliminated before the final day \u2014 Day 7 \u2014 even began. The final player to represent our country was Chanracy Khun who was eliminated on Day 6. One Canadian lasted a little longer on the same day, but Dong Guo is a dual citizen and was representing China instead of his part-time home of our nation.<\/p>\n
\tThe headline for the November Nine has to be that Mark Newhouse has made the lineup for the second year in a row. The last player to do this was Dan Harrington in 2003 and 2004 when the fields were considerably smaller (839 and 2,576, respectively). It has been a decade since Harrington\u2019s achievement, and the WSOP Main Event is attracting well over 6,000 players these days. Newhouse\u2019s back-to-back final table achievement is nothing short of astounding.<\/p>\n
