Jason Mercier First For Portrait (So Can Get On With Stacking Chips)
The players are finally in position, and we expect the start any moment... expect some top class poker from some experienced, relaxed players who are ready to fight for the £800k top prize and the super-presigious bit of WSOPE jewellery.

Who's Holding Things Up?

By the by, all the finalists are being asked to sign an actual table top that someone has propped against a wall. Someone's going to get a nice souvenir -- Betfair will be giving it away as a prize in their Online Side Series.
