Chips bags are on the table and the players have begun to take their seats. A field of 872 has given us these final eight:
Seat 1: Daniel Clemente (1,345,000)
Seat 2: Sam Stein (6,145,000)
Seat 3: Tom Fuller (4,735,000)
Seat 4: "Miami" John Cernuto (1,310,000)
Seat 5: Yunus Jamal (3,940,000)
Seat 6: David Paredes (4,700,000)
Seat 7: Tom Marchese (2,370,000)
Seat 8: Eric Blair (1,690,000)
Each of the eight players gave an interview earlier in the day which will presumably become part of the ESPN2 broadcast of this event. Now we're just waiting for the television crew to conduct their final checks. It looks like play will begin very close to the 2pm scheduled start time.
Once cards are in the air, play won't conclude until we have a champion. PokerNews will be table-side from the first pitch of the cards to the last river. Join us for all the action!
