Final Table Minutes Away

Nine talented players will soon take their seats to compete for the most coveted prize in poker - a WSOP bracelet.

England's Ross Boatman comes into the as the chip leader, but he's got some tough competition lurking close behind in the form of bracelet winners John Juanda, J.C. Tran, and Theo Jorgensen, who captured the 5,000 Euro PLO event at the 2008 WSOP-E.

The action kicks off soon, so stick around to which player will walk away with today's top prize.

Will We Hear "God Save the Queen" Again?

Two of our nine finalists, Ross Boatman and Jeff Kimber, both hail from the U.K., as does John Duthie, who across the room is playing in the finals of the $10,000 Heads-Up Championship. With these three all sporting healthy chip stacks going into their final tables, there's quite a good possibility that we'll be hearing "God Save the Queen" over the loudspeakers at tomorrow afternoon's bracelet ceremony.

Two Brits have already claimed WSOP bracelets this year-- J.P. Kelly in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event and Roland De Wolfe in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better event.

Rami Boukai Takes the First Pot

In the day's first hand, J.C. Tran limped from under-the-gun and Rami Boukai called from the button. When Ross Boatman checked his option, three players saw a flop of {10-Spades}{A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Tran led out for 40,000 and Boukai called. Boatman folded and we saw the {8-Clubs} on he turn. When Tran checked, Boukai bet out 80,000 and, after a short pause, Tran folded.

One to Tran

Theo Jorgensen opened for 43,000, Dallas Flowers called from the cutoff, and J.C. Tran came in with a pot-sized raise from the small blind. Jorgensen got out of the way, Flowers folded, and Tran picked up the pot.

Chad Layne Pads His Stack

Chad Layne committed a big portion of his short stack when he raised to 50,000 from under-the-gun. Action folded back to Theo Jorgensen who made the call from the big blind.

On a flop of {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Jorgensen checked and Layne pushed his remaining 106,000 into the middle. Jorgensen folded, giving Layne the pot.
