Those poker fans who have been avoiding spoilers since July were treated to the final pre-taped ESPN episode of the 2015 World Series of Poker main event on Sunday night. Live coverage will resume this Sunday with the November Nine final table.
Daniel Negreanu, who sits atop the all-time live tournament poker winnings list with more than $30.5 million, came up just short of the final table in dramatic fashion, losing to chip leader Joe McKeehen with a brutal blow on the river.
McKeehen will start the final table with 63.1 million in chips, which at 32.76 percent of the chips in play, is the most since the Moneymaker boom. The winner will take home $7,680,021.
Negreanu’s 11th-place finish was well documented this summer, but Sunday night was the first time a national audience got to see his reaction to being eliminated on video.
Watch Negreanu hit the floor below.
The tournament will resume on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 8:30 pm ET, playing from nine to four players. It continues Monday, Nov. 9 at 8 pm ET, proceeding to heads-up play. The winner will be crowned on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 9 pm ET.
