Event #8 has just crowned the 2011 WSOP's newest bracelet winner, and we're on the move. As soon as the table clears, we're headed over to the main featured table to play out the rest of the night. We expect to be back in action in about five or ten minutes.
The final nine are being introduced by T.D. Robbie Thompson right now. So far, it looks like Rivet has the strongest contingent of railbirds here tonight. They've already begun their "Guil-laume Ri-vet" chants in the bleachers.
Level: 24
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 0
"Booing is not," reminds Robbie Thompson on the mic. We're off and running at the final table of Event #11.
