SPOILERS After 81 hands and a few hours of unofficial final table play, the 2011 WSOP Main Event November Nine is set. After laying low at the final table for the first couple hours of action, John Hewitt decided to get in the mix, but his involvement would have unfortunate consequences. Hewitt was eliminated in 10th place at the hands of Eoghan O’Dea, while the remaining players started bagging and tagging their chips and embarking on the three month adventure that comes with being a WSOP November Niner. Before we take a look at some of the last hands of the night, take a gander at the list of nine names you will soon be very familiar with. Here are the chip counts and seat assignments for the official final table of the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event, including chip leader Martin Staszko, short stack Sam Holden, and online poker pros turned WSOP headliners, Ben Lamb and Phil Collins: Seat 1: Matt Giannetti – 24750000 Seat 2: Badih Bounahra – 19700000 Seat 3: Eoghan O’Dea – 33925000 Seat 4: Phil Collins – 23775000 Seat 5: Anton Makiievskyi – 13925000 Seat 6: Sam Holden – 12375000 Seat 7: Pius Heinz – 16425000 Seat 8: Ben Lamb – 20875000 Seat 9: Martin Staszko – 40175000

    @TheMagicalwispers When is it coming ? Its been 21 days allready

    To those of you complaining about not seeing the cards… this is live. The Nevada Gaming Commision wouldn’t like people seeing the cards before the hand is over, might be a good place for people to cheat eh?

    If you want to see the cards, wait for the produced programs later where they can show the cards during the hand.

    Not showing the cards takes the emotional involvement out of watching the game. Now I’m not hoping or rooting for anything. I’ve become a passive viewer, and it is idiotic not to show the cards. What is the value? I don’t even want to watch.

    It’s way better, than the normal format, where it was most of the time like this: “Ouhh… XXX is allin with Kings… YYY calls and flips over Aces… blablabla”… you saw very seldomly real poker hands, just the aforementioned bullshit. I can only support this format!

    The new setup isn’t killing poker, it IS poker.

    CONT> In fact you know what, there should be some sort of dress code. If poker seeks respectability in the same way any other sport does then all players should wear the same. You wouldn’t see Tiger Woods appear on the green wearing tons of bling, a hoody, sunglasses and sporting ipod earphones.

    Now I love poker and reading other players is part of the game. Myself and the missus play live. we do have an advantage in that we can read one another really well.

    I might be old fashioned perhaps

    @maxirierez109 Agreed… its part of the live game… If players want to hide their cards and avoid giving away tells they can always take up meditation or something. Whats next wearing an astronaut suit to hide all automotive responses?

    Plus as Ben Lamb demonstrates NOT wearing sunglasses is really intimidating… and he’s perfectly prepared to make a raise and look directly at his opponents… As Esfandiari says its really bloody intimidating…

  • 27 December 20119:34 am myone2008

    man whats with the bitching about the cards? watch the god danm game you don;’t need to see the full cards to have an idea of what the players have if you need full cards expose wait till espn blows it off, now shut the fuck up and keep sucking.

  • 27 December 201110:08 am MumblingMickey

    @maxirierez109 agreed, live or not … I doubt you, me or the man on the moon would be bothered if there was a 20 min delay to ensure hands were not notified to the players…

    plus players should not be allowed to carry cell phones or ipads to the table….

    This is all down to the stupid fiasco last year where they introduced the final table delayed with the ticker on ESPN stating the winner.

  • 27 December 201110:49 am thisfuckinsucks1

    this is real poker, people think every hand is action because you see that one tv but they cut out hundreds of hands.
