We've known for a few weeks, thanks to the spoiler commercials that Full Tilt aired, that Phil Ivey had made it to this year's final table. But unless you've dug into the WSOP website or follow poker closely you probably didn't know until last night who the other players are or the chip positioning for Saturday's final table.
1) Darvin Moon (a) - 58.93 mil
2) Eric Buchman (p) - 34.8 mil
3) Steven Begleiter (a) - 29.885 mil
4) Jeff Shulman (p) - 19.58 mil
5) Joseph Cada (p) - 13.215 mil
6) Kevin Schaffel (a) - 12.39 mil
7) Phil Ivey (p) - 9.765 mil
8) Antoine Saout (a) - 9.5 mil
9) James Akenhead (p) - 6.8 mil
Despite having a severe chip disadvantage, Ivey is still pulling 7:2 odds to win, while our other well-known pro Shulman is at 4:1. Both of them have the skill to beat the field, but they'll both need to pick up some big early pots to mount a proper challenge to the chipleaders.
Moon is currently at 2:1 given his stack, but if you've been watching the weekly progress he's constantly been pulling great hands. We'll have to see how he manages should his luck with the deck run dry.
