Welcome to the Jungle

The ESPN Feature Table area is packed wall-to-wall with spectators, supporters, media, various poker pros, Harrah's executives, backers, hangers-on, and, of course, two cameras on dollies that circle the table and another mounted on a jib that sweeps overhead. The atmosphere is positively electric, with every move at the table scrutinized and "oohs" and "ahhs" emanating from the crowd with every turn of a card. Hands are taking longer and longer to play out, with each of these ten remaining players focused on making the November Nine.

For the tenth-place finisher, it's all over tonight. For the other nine, this is just the last stop before a four-month hiatus which will probably feel like the longest wait of their lives.
