We began with 115 players at the start of play today, and over the course of a little less than 13 hours, we have whittled that number down to just nine. The action was frisky most of the day, only marginally slowing down near the money bubble. Even when we got to our final four tables, there was no shortage of big confrontations and game-changing pots. Despite the deep stacks, the players were by no means afraid to get in there and mix it up for heaps of chips. The mood was serious and aggressive for the majority of the day, setting the stage for tomorrow's nine-way showdown.

The final table will have a very international feel to it, as it contains players from all over the world. There is little doubt that the Danish will be well-supported by their cheering section. If today is any indication, it's going to be a little rowdy inside the Final Table Arena.

When the players return, they will be playing for the top prize of $693,444 and a coveted gold bracelet. Tomorrow's action kicks off squarely at 2:00pm local time, and we hope you'll join us then.
