2015 World Series of Poker November Nine Resume Play On Sunday

It’s been 116 days since the elimination of Alexander Turyansky set the final table of the 2015 World Series of Poker $10,000 no-limit hold’em main event. In the intervening months the November Nine have studied and practiced, preparing to return to the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to battle it out for the bracelet, the title of World Champion and the $7,683,346 first-place prize.

In the past few days ESPN aired their coverage showing the elimination of fan-favorite and all-time tournament money leader Daniel Negreanu and the WSOP announced the betting lines for the final table.

Now the November Nine are now just a day away from resuming action. Each of the final table players is already guaranteed $1,001,020 after navigating the field of 6,420 entries, but they all now surely have their eyes on the title.

ESPN’s coverage of the final table begins at 8 PM EST on Sunday, Nov. 8. This year the final table will be spread over three days, playing down to four on the first night and then down to heads-up on the second. The third and final night, Nov. 10th, will determine the next WSOP main event champion. As has been the case since 2003, Norman Chad and Lon McEachern will be in the commentary booth calling the action for all of the WSOP coverage.
