The top 1,517 players win money.<\/p>\n<p>The final nine are Jordan Griff, Brian Kim, Niklas Astedt, Joe Serock, Jason Sagle, Boris Angelov, Jonathan Tamayo, Malo Latinois and Andres Gonzalez.<\/p>\n<p>The players are from the U.S., Sweden, Canada, Bulgaria and Spain.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pgt.com\/news\/see-who-made-the-2024-wsop-main-event-final-table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all the players here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-przcnw7u-_466970811d8528697784692\" style=\"max-width:900px;\">\n<span class=\"arve-inner\"><br \/><span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 500 \/ 281\"><br \/><span class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"\/><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-przcnw7u-_466970811d8528697784692\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/PRzcnW7u-_4?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/PRzcnW7u-_4?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" width=\"900\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Final Table will be livestreamed on PokerGO, whatever that might be. Watching live poker is akin to watching paint dry, so just skip it and we\u2019ll update this story when there\u2019s a winner.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s telling the final nine of the WSOP Main Event doesn\u2019t include names like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey or Phil Hellmuth. That\u2019s because while there\u2019s some skill involved with poker, there\u2019s also a metric hell-ton of luck required.<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t played much live poker, but one time when we did, we had a very lucky streak and were nearly pummeled to death by longtime players who were not amused by our beating them handily despite our obvious inexperience.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great things about the WSOP Main Event is pretty much anyone can win. It\u2019s not dominated by poker superstars, which keeps dreams of million-dollar prizes alive.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and bracelets! This year\u2019s winner\u2019s bling is made of \u201c445 grams of 10-karat yellow gold with 2,253 various precious gemstones, including 1,948 round genuine diamonds, 230 black onyx stones and 75 genuine red rubies to accentuate the suits.\u201d Learn more at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WSOP Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The closure of Mirage on July 17 is going to swallow up the news about who wins the WSOP Main Event, but check back for who prevails.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/world-series-of-poker-main-event-down-to-final-nine\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] By Scott Roeben, on July 16 2024 The World Series of Poker Main Event had a record number of entrants this year, 10,112.
