Event #7 - $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em Final Table | 2008 World Series of Poker

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the 2008 WSOP Event #7 Final Table. We are set up here in the ESPN arena as the room is being prepared for play. Cameras, lights, and mics are being checked and re-checked, and soon the players and spectators alike will file into their seats. We still have some interviews and other housekeeping to get out of the way, but Tournament Director Bill Bruce says he expects to be underway on time at 2:00pm local time.

As we sit here though, we can tell that may not be the case. The chips have not even been un-bagged yet and there are just a couple of our nine players lingering in the tournament area. We do expect to be playing shortly, perhaps just a few minutes late though.
