The starting field of 7,221 has been whittled down to just nine players, and the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event has reached its final table. The nine finalists in the world's biggest poker tournament are all guaranteed to earn at least $1,000,000 apiece, while they continue the battle for the $8,150,000 first-place prize on Thursday, July 20.
Two of the players taking their seats at the final table on Thursday have been there before. Former November Niners Antoine Saout and Ben Lamb both sat in the Main Event final table spotlight before, both have performed under pressure already, and both return to poker's biggest stage in three days' time.
