Players are being briefed on the procedures of the final table and live stream. Cards will be in the air momentarily.

The final international player at the table, Great Britain's Matt Perrins, comes in as the chip leader, after tangling with Arthur Pro late in Day 3, to take top spot. Perrins is the only player at today's table to have WSOP success, after capturing his first bracelet back in 2011, when he took down the $1,500 No Limit 2-7 Lowball event.

With the most chips in play, there's nothing to say, that Perrins couldn't become a multiple bracelet winner after the conclusion of today's event.

If Matt Berkey is the most notable player at the final table, then Joe Serock can't be too far behind. Also coming from Las Vegas, Serock has cashed in 18 WSOP events over his career, with three already coming in this series.

After finishing second on two occasions, Serock will be hoping it's third time lucky, as he tries to win his first gold bracelet.

Kent Roed comes into today's final table as the shortest stack, after a roller-coaster Day 3. From Bergen, Norway, Roed has secured his first WSOP cash, but isn't a stranger to deep runs, after solid performances in WPT and EPT events in the past year.

He will be hoping to make his presence felt early today, as he attempts to gain some momentum against the bigger stacks on the table.

Seth Berger started Day 3 as the chip leader, and almost finished in the same position, after a big hand, saw him take the lead nearing the end of the day. This will be the Californian's seventh cash at the WSOP, and will be hoping to capture his first bracelet, after narrowly missing out at the start of the summer, when he finished runner up in Event #3 $1,000 No Limit Hold'em.

After just five and a half hours of play yesterday, the remaining 31 players were cut down to just a final table of nine, and leading the way is World Series of Poker bracelet winner Matt Perrins. With just nine left, Perrins has 1,946,000 chips. Behind him though, are Matt Berkey (1,585,000) Seth Berger (1,698,000), and Arthur Pro (1,610,000), each of whom has a good a shot as any to take down the first place prize money and the bracelet.

Players flew off the rails very quickly yesterday but we expect play to slow down just a bit as tensions will be high when the final table starts. The plan is to play down to a winner today and it is very likely that the goal will be reached.

The shortest stacks at the final table are Kent Roed (482,000) and Randal Flowers (619,000). Flowers' tournament was at the brink of being over yesterday, but a miraculous run of cards allowed him to double up three hands in a row to remain in contention. We can expect to see the short stacks double up early or go home soon as blinds will begin at 12,000/24,000 with a 4,000 ante.

Action is set to begin around 12:45 p.m. but players will first be briefed upon final table rules as well as procedures for the live stream.

We can expect to see cards hit the air around 1 p.m. Be sure to stick with us here at PokerNews.com and we'll bring you hand for hand updates from the entirety of the final table along with bios of each player.
