Nine More Hands

There's a new policy in place at the end of the day here at the WSOP. With ten minutes remaining in the final level, the tournament clock will be stopped and one card will be drawn from a deck to determine the number of hands each table will play before the surviving players bag and tag their chips. This policy, designed to deter stalling, is already in place on other poker tours including the EPT and the LAPT.

Neil "Bad Beat" Channing had the card-drawing honors and pulled a nine from the deck. Ergo, nine more hands will be dealt at each table before we wrap up for the night.
