Jason Sentl, Joseph Cheong, John Dolan. Johnathan Duhamel, Michael Mizrachi, Matthew Jarvis, John Racener., Filippo Candio and Cuong Nguyen make up the 2010 World Series of Poker November Nine. These nine gentlemen will battle it out for the WSOP’s highest honor, the Main Event Championship. Aside from Michael Mizrachi, the individuals that made it to the finals table are not the most celebrated or popular players in professional poker. Missing are some very notable names.

This crop of competitors is very young with Cuong Nguyen being the oldest at a mere 37 years of age. Nguyen is also the only no-professional poker player to make it the finals. A medical supplies salesman by trade, Cuong has cashed in a Main Event before. In 2006 he cashed after finishing in 614th place. He has the 8th highest chip count in the bunch, surpassing only Jason Sentl.

Perhaps the most well-known player in this year’s final is Michael Mizrachi who won a WSOP bracelet in the Poker Players Championship. He is currently in 7th place with 14.4 million chips.

The seats for the November final have been drawn and made public. Here is a list of seating draws from seat 1 to seat 9, Jason Sentl, Joseph Cheong, John Dolan, Jonathan Duhamel, Michael Mizrachi, Matthew Jarvis 6, John Racener 7, Filippo Candio and Cuong Nguyen.

In terms of chip count here is how the players stack up form highest to lowest, Jason Sentl, Joseph Cheong, John Dolan, Jonathan Duhamel, Michael Mizrachi, Matthew Jarvis, John Racener, Filippo Candio and Cuong Nguyen.

The final table will be played on November 6th. This is a very fairly recent format change. Prior to the format change which occurred two years ago, the entire tournament was played at one-time during the rest of the WSOP events. This format has been adopted to allow players the chance to get used to the attention and fame which comes with being one of the final 9 to compete for the WSOP Main Event Championships.
