The opening ceremonies of the final table are officially underway. TD Jack Effel introduced the World Series of Poker Commissioner, Jeffrey Pollack. Flanked by the four showgirls, Pollack thanked the assembled crowd for coming out to watch poker history. He then welcomed the November Nine to the stage, to the roars and applause of the crowd.

After brief words from the General Manager of the Rio and the president of Corum Watches -- who mentioned that the winner of the tournament will receive a custom Romulus watch, engraved with his name and lucky suit -- the chip bags were brought out and given to the players. The players are now counting and stacking their chips. We are just moments from play.
