The chips are counted, the interviews are done, and the photos are snapped. Now the nine players who make up the final table of the 2009 WSOP Main Event begin their four month “break” which will inevitably consist of a series of interviews, appearances, and, of course, some poker before they return on November 7th to play down to a new World Champion.
The lone P5er at this year’s final table is Joe “jcada99″ Cada (pictured left). He will return in November 4th in chips with 13,215,000 chips. The 22-year old Michigan native will be facing some tought competition including British Pro James Akenhead, 2000 WSOP Main Event 7th place finisher Jeff Shulman, and some guy named Phil Ivey. Cada will also have to contend with overwhelming chip leader Darvin Moon.
Here are the seating assignments and official chip counts for November’s final table:
Seat 1: Darvin Moon - 58,930,000
Seat 2: James Akenhead - 6,800,000
Seat 3: Phil Ivey - 9,765,000
Seat 4: Kevin Schaffel - 12,390,000
Seat 5: Steven Begleiter - 29,885,000
Seat 6: Eric Buchman - 34,800,000
Seat 7: Joe Cada - 13,215,000
