No stage in poker stood as a bigger goal for a tournament player than the final table of the WSOP Main Event. For years, that meant going to sleep knowing you had the chance of a lifetime, to go down in poker history in the next few days as the cameras captured your every bet, raise and fold.
All of that changed in 2008.
The year after Jerry Yang's Main Event victory was broadcast to all on ESPN's standard tape delay, organizers made a decision to try to increase the excitement and anticipation around the final table: after the final nine was reached, play would be paused. At that point, everyone left would go home with 9th-place money and the players would reconvene a few months later to play out the final table on a short tape delay.
That lasted until 2016, and this is the history of the November (and October) Nines.

If you don't follow poker pro and commentator Jamie Kerstetter on Twitter, you probably should. Her tweets @JamieKerstetter are legendary and among the funniest in the industry, so much so that she won "Twitter Personality of the Year" at the 2nd Annual Global Poker Awards earlier this year.
Since 2009, Kerstetter has amassed $682,314 in live tournament earnings, including a career-best $44,937 for finishing 12th in the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship Event. An attorney by trade, Kerstetter is well known for her commentary abilities. She's been featured alongside Lon McEachern and Norman Chad during ESPN broadcasts of the World Series of Poker, and currently co-hosts "The Rake" podcast alongside Marle Cordeiro. For several years she was also a co-host of the now-defunct LFG Podcast on PokerNews.
The New Jersey native actually resides in Las Vegas now, and she's on the bracelet grind. Thus far, she's earned six cashes in the online series, and if today goes according to plan she'll add a seventh.

There were five players who limped in preflop to see a flop and action was checked to Mark "Victb" Ioli who fired out 300 from under the gun and Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu called from late position.
Action folded to Marjorie "Cheetara" Davidovic who raised to 1,557 from the small blind and both opponent's called to the turn.
Both Davidovic and Ioli checked to Negreanu who fired out 2,885. Davidovic folded while Ioli called and the river was checked but both players.
Ioli rolled over for two-pair but it was no good as Negreanu flopped the set to scoop the pot.
