November Nine? Didn't it used to be 10 players? I assume they cut it down to 9 for the final table this year. "November Nine" does have a nice ring to it though.

Most tables are now 9-handed, especially online and at the WSOP, with some majors even limiting the FT to six players (World Poker Tour etc.). I much prefer the 9-handed table since that 10th player always seems to have Aces imo :scarymad:

So, you never are the 10th player? :-P

By the way, after looking into things more, it looks like hey went with a 10 man table and first person knocked out made it 9.
