This is going to be a *fantastic* final table.
Gavin Griffin was the youngest player to ever win a bracelet back in 2004 (amazingly, a record that's been broken *three* times since then), and is already having a great 2007, winning the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo earlier this year.
Allen Cunningham is one of the top pros in the world, coming off two very strong WSOPs, winning Player of the Year honors in 2005 and finishing fourth in the Main Event in 2006. He already has four bracelets, and is looking to become just the 17th player in history to win five.
Humberto Brenes is one of the most popular pros, and this is his second final table of the '07 WSOP. He won two bracelets way back in 1993 -- and none since. He'd love to pick up a third.
Jeff Lisandro is a top pro who finished 17th in last year's Main Event, and won an exciting WSOP Circuit Championship back in 2005, heads-up against Phil Ivey for several hours.
Jason Lester is probably best known for finishing fourth in the 2003 Main Event, behind Chris Moneymaker. But he also happens to be the defending champion in this event. It's been a long time since we've had someone win the same WSOP event two years in a row.
And that's just 5/9ths of the table.

because there was a dead small blind behind him. If Lehr had returned five minutes earlier, Humberto likely would have folded. We'll never know for sure. Once Sebok busted, it was time to redraw for seats at the final ten-handed table. But the deal had already been completed at the other table. Even so, the hand was declared dead. Jeff Lisandro, on the button, was shocked, saying he had never heard of such a thing. All of the players received cards, and even though nobody had acted yet, he felt the hand should have been played out. But the hand was killed, and the players drew for seats at the final table.
As they were sitting down to the final table, Tex Barch came to the rail, trying to get the attention of Keith Lehr. When Lehr saw him, he came over, saying, "30 minutes! I missed 30 minutes!"
Actually, Keith, it was more like 10 minutes, but who are we to split hairs?
. Sebok shows 
, and even though he's a favorite, he looks worried. The ESPN cameras gather around, and Humberto puts on a show for them, calling -- practically singing -- for an eight on the flop. He's rewarded with two pair as the flop comes
, and Sebok is drawing to something runner-runner. The turn card is the , and Sebok turns to leave, drawing dead. The meaningless river card is the 
, which causes Humberto to shout, "Full house! Full house!" Joe Sebok is eliminated in 11th place, earning $21,512.

on the turn gave Hauptman a flush draw and plenty of outs. The river card was the 
, and Lisandro's pocket kings held up to win the pot. Mike Hauptman is eliminated in 12th place, earning $21,512.
