Some of us may have gotten a bit sloppy with the development of the final table yesterday — look, I was going on about 5 hours of sleep over the previous three days, and was so hopped up on caffeine and energy drinks that my urethra had constricted to near the size of a coffee stir. Peeing wasn\’t painful, but it did take some extra time … and you readers were already in bed on that final day of 2008 WSOP Summer Camp, and I may have been in a rush to the Hooker Bar farewell when deducing that almost all the final tableists were in their 20s and from California, so … not making excuses, just sayin\’ … the process of gathering news on the fly can be a bit messy sometimes.
So here is a more accurate recount of who\’s really left in the 2008 WSOP main event:
| 2008Â WSOP Main Event Final Table: | |||||
| Player Name | Chip Count | Age | City | State/Country | Seat# |
| Dennis Phillips | 26,295,000 | 53 | St. Louis | Missouri | TBA |
| Ivan Demidov | 24,400,000 | 27 | Moscow | Russia | TBA |
| Scott Montgomery | 19,690,000 | 26 | Perth | Canada | TBA |
| Peter Eastgate | 18,375,000 | 22 | Odense | Denmark | TBA |
| Ylon Schwartz | 12,525,000 | 38 | Brooklyn | New York | TBA |
| Darus Suharto | 12,520,000 | 39 | Toronto | Canada | TBA |
| David \’Chino\’ Rheem | 10,230,000 | 28 | Los Angeles | California | TBA |
| Craig Marquis | 10,210,000 | 23 | Arlington | Texas | TBA |
| Kelly Kim | 2,620,000 | 31 | Whittier | California | TBA |
Interestingly enough, Pokerati readers picked a \”middle aged white American male\” as most likely to win the main event (we discounted a last-minute surge of Jerry Yang votes after he had been eliminated) — and yet 40somethings were completely shut out of the November Nine. (Ask Tom, Pokerati\’s resident 40something, I tell him all the time: it\’s a lot easier to win when you make the final table.) New era, it seems.
