His opponent called, showing pocket kings, but Shorr’s 6 4 was good for a straight, giving him the knockout and a new stack of 122,000 in chips. A Double For Dennis Dennis Phillips had his stack dwindle down to about 25 blinds when he finally got his chance for a double. Phillips was able to get all in preflop with pocket tens against his opponents pocket threes. The board rolled out J 4 2 K A and Phillips doubled up to just under 19,000 in chips. Michael DeMichele Gets Doubled On a flop of J 5 3, Michael DeMichele bet and his opponent raised to 7,500. DeMichele reraised to 11,750 and his opponent wasted no time before moving all in.

Final-Table Seating Chart with Chip CountsJul 18, '10 The November Nine is set for 2010! Jonathan Duhamel ended the night with the chip lead after eliminating the November Nine bubble boy Brandon Steven in 10th place. Duhamel holds 65,975,000. Michael Mizrachi has provided drama at both ends of the 41st WSOP. He won the $50,000 Players Championship during the first week and now he has finished the summer by making the November Nine in seventh chip-position with 14,450,000. Joining Mizrachi as a headliner at the final table in November will be John Racener, who holds 19,050,000. The inclusion of the Grinder at the final table leaves the winner of the WSOP Player of the Year award in question for a few months. Mizrachi can steal the title from 2010 double-bracelet winner Frank Kassela, but only if he becomes the first professional in the post-poker boom era to claim the title of world champion. In addition to the title of world champion there is also the $8,944,138 top prize to chase after, and that will be the ultimate goal for every man listed below. We will learn the stories for each of these contenders that have stormed into the poker spotlight in the months ahead. The wait now begins for November, until then, here is the seating chart and chip counts for the final table: Seat 1: Jason Senti — 7,625,000 Player Tags: Michael Mizrachi, Jonathan Duhamel, John Racener Level 34, Hour Two Update: Action SlowJul 18, '10 Blinds: 150,000-300,000 with a 40,000 ante Players Remaining: 10 out of 7,319 Average Chip Count: 21,957,000 Tournament Leaderboard: 1.

Final-Table Seating Chart with Chip CountsJul 18, '10 The November Nine is set for 2010! Jonathan Duhamel ended the night with the chip lead after eliminating the November Nine bubble boy Brandon Steven in 10th place. Duhamel holds 65,975,000. Michael Mizrachi has provided drama at both ends of the 41st WSOP. He won the $50,000 Players Championship during the first week and now he has finished the summer by making the November Nine in seventh chip-position with 14,450,000. Joining Mizrachi as a headliner at the final table in November will be John Racener, who holds 19,050,000. The inclusion of the Grinder at the final table leaves the winner of the WSOP Player of the Year award in question for a few months. Mizrachi can steal the title from 2010 double-bracelet winner Frank Kassela, but only if he becomes the first professional in the post-poker boom era to claim the title of world champion. In addition to the title of world champion there is also the $8,944,138 top prize to chase after, and that will be the ultimate goal for every man listed below. We will learn the stories for each of these contenders that have stormed into the poker spotlight in the months ahead.

Final-Table Seating Chart with Chip CountsJul 18, '10 The November Nine is set for 2010! Jonathan Duhamel ended the night with the chip lead after eliminating the November Nine bubble boy Brandon Steven in 10th place. Duhamel holds 65,975,000. Michael Mizrachi has provided drama at both ends of the 41st WSOP. He won the $50,000 Players Championship during the first week and now he has finished the summer by making the November Nine in seventh chip-position with 14,450,000. Joining Mizrachi as a headliner at the final table in November will be John Racener, who holds 19,050,000. The inclusion of the Grinder at the final table leaves the winner of the WSOP Player of the Year award in question for a few months. Mizrachi can steal the title from 2010 double-bracelet winner Frank Kassela, but only if he becomes the first professional in the post-poker boom era to claim the title of world champion. In addition to the title of world champion there is also the $8,944,138 top prize to chase after, and that will be the ultimate goal for every man listed below. We will learn the stories for each of these contenders that have stormed into the poker spotlight in the months ahead.
