Tournament Notes:

What promises to be one of the most exciting final tables of the 2007 WSOP will begin on Sunday, June 10 at 2 pm PST. The entire final table (including hole cards of players) will be available for viewing at the official WSOP webcast at: www.worldseriesofpoker.com

The nine finalists hold nine WSOP gold bracelets combined. Five players are former winners, with Allen Cunningham leading the way (four previous wins). Cunningham also took third place in the main event last year.

This is the largest buy-in for a Pot-Limit Hold’em tournament anywhere in the world. Hence, it is officially the “Pot Limit World Championship.”
