It's a shame one the ladies didn't make it, nor any well known pros. I've never heard of anybody at the final table, and I expect that'll be the case with most people.
Few will be rooting for Andras Koroknai. He was the beneficiary of a controversial ruling late on Day 5 which probably saved him from elimination. Gaelle Baumann raised UTG, Koroknai hadn't noticed and shoved from the small blind, thinking it had folded round to him. When the big blind folded he thought he'd won the pot and mucked his cards. Baumann held pocket KK and would have made the call. The floorman ruled in Koroknai's favour. In a cruel twist of fate it was Koroknai who busted Baumann in 10th place today to burst the final table bubble.
Is the clock nickname due to the fact he has done a lot of 'time'? Is there going to be a write up on the final 9 players on this thread? Posted by MAXALLY

I actually think that would be a great idea.
Who wants to go first?!
Some of the Sky Poker players did some great reaearch on this thread, for our boys in Vegas, should we ask them to do it?

Why not give 9 " volunteers" one player each to research rather than 1 person doing the lot?
I would just like to add my thanks to all the guys in Vegas. Even though i wasnt playing (guest of Foleyboy1) i was made to feel very much part of the team. The support and team spirit of all the guys was tremendous. Thanks once again guys.
