Poker Players Get in Line on Day #6
Earlier this week, the World Series of Poker Main Event played down to the final table live on PokerGO and while the wait to begin play at that final table only spanned two days, compared to the three month wait of years past, for the final nine players, it likely felt like an eternity. That eternal wait is now over, as the 2017 WSOP Main Event final table is officially underway and poker’s next world champion will be crowned within the next three days.
The final table resumes with a very real divide between the haves and the have nots. Two players, Scott Blumstein and John Hesp, are sitting on mountainous chip stacks and the rest of the field, including two past November Niners Ben Lamb and Antione Saout, are all huddled together in the chase pack.
The WSOP Main Event will be split into three days of action, with the first dropping the field to the final six. That half dozen will return tomorrow, at 6 PM PT, to play down to the final three and then the Main Event champion will be crowned on Saturday, with play again beginning at 6 PM PT. The action over the next three days will be streamed live on PokerGO and ESPN. Where to watch the Main Event final table can be found here and a rundown of the final nine can be found here.
