The final table is set in the ‘Domestic Tournament' of the 2020 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em main event. The US-facing segment of the tournament drew a total of 704 entries, and after two full days of action, just nine players now remain. The final table will resume playing live and in-person at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on Dec. 28, with the title and the top prize of $1,553,256 on the line.
Since 1972, the Main Event of the WSOP has been the $10,000 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament. The winner of the WSOP Main Event receives a World Series of Poker bracelet, millions of dollars (with the exact amount based on the number of entrants), and the right to be considered the year's World Champion of Poker. The WSOP Main Event is the $10,000 buy-in No Limit Hold ‘em Championship. Based on the record setting numbers thus far in the 2019 WSOP, the Main Event is expected to exceed last year's 7,874. The final table is set in the ‘Domestic Tournament' of the 2020 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em main event. The US-facing segment of the tournament drew a total of 704.
This year's main event has utilized an unprecedented hybrid live-and-online format, with two separate tournaments beginning online and continuing until both final tables are set. The two winners determined at those final tables, which will be played live and in person, will then square off in a live heads-up showdown to determine which will win the championship WSOP gold bracelet and an added bonus prize of $1,000,000 on top of their winnings from the final table.
Day 2 of the ‘Domestic Tournament' began with just 71 players remaining. It took around seven hours to narrow the field to the final nine players, with Louisiana's Joseph Hebert ending the day as the clear chip leader. His 13,052,534 stack is nearly 2.5 times larger than the next-biggest stack at the table and represents just more than 30 percent of the total chips in play. Hebert has more than $600,000 in prior tournament earnings, including a runner-up finish in the 2013 WSOP Circuit Harrah's New Orleans main event and a win in this year's Million Dollar Heater main event held at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.
Shawn Stroke ended the day in second chip position with 5,252,000. The Lawrence, New York native's largest prior score came when he finished second in the 2018 WSOP $365 buy-in online bracelet event for $94,265. 2019 WPTDeepStacks New York main event champion Ryan Hagerty sits in third place with 5,071,572.
The most accomplished player at the final table is three-time WSOP bracelet winner Upeshka De Silva. The poker pro from Katy, Texas has just shy of $3.1 million in prior tournament earnings, with all of his bracelet wins coming in no-limit hold'em events. He won his first hardware at the series in 2017, topping a field of 1,655 entries to win a $1,500 no-limit hold'em event for $424,577. Two years later he took down the $3,000 buy-in shootout event, besting a field of 369 to earn $229,923. In 2019 he won the $600 buy-in bounty event, outlasting 1,224 entries to earn $98,263.
Plenty of highly-successful tournament players made a deep run in this event, only to fall short of making the live final table. The last remaining WSOP main event champion with a chance to win the big dance a second time was 2013 world champion Ryan Riess. His run came to an end in 47th place ($22,334). Other big names knocked out on day 2 included three-time bracelet winner and Wolrd Poker Tour champion Nick Schulman (55th – $20,304), bracelet winner and PokerStars Caribbean Adventure main event winner Galen Hall (53rd – $22,334), two-time bracelet winner Shankar Pillai (51st – $22,334), four-time WPT main event winner Darren Elias (50th – $22,334), two-time bracelet winner Freddy Deeb (46th – $22,334), WPT champion Matthew Salsberg (41st – $25,718), and three-time bracelet winner and WPT champion Scott Seiver (39th – $25,718).
The notables that made the last four tables but were bounced before the final table included poker triple crown winner Mohsin Charania (35th – $29,779), bracelet winner and 2010 WSOP main event third-place finisher Joseph Cheong (33rd – $29,779), bracelet winner Jason Somerville (32nd – $29,779), bracelet winner Justin Liberto (26th – $35,194), Maria Ho (22nd – $35,194), Jared Griener (20th – $35,194), Clayton 'NevarLucky' Maguire (13th – $62,266), Martin Zamani (12th – $62,266), bracelet winner Daniel Zack (11th – $77,832), and bracelet winner Anthony Spinella (10th – $77,832).
The final nine players are now all guaranteed to earn at least $98,813, with the top twp finishers to earn seven-figure paydays. The final table will play out on Dec. 28 at the Rio in Las Vegas. The eventual champion will face the winner of the ‘International Tournament' in a heads-up battle for the bracelet and the $1,000,000 in added money on Dec. 30. The ‘International Tournament' final table is taking place at King's Casino in Rozvadov on Dec. 15.

The World Series of Poker main event saw its final starting flight take off on Friday with day 1C, but a pair of poker players in the $10,000 buy-in event won't be advancing, despite the fact that neither were ever knocked out of the tournament.
One player was disqualified in one of the most egregious breaches of etiquette seen at the poker tables in quite some time… and it was all caught on camera.
The player, decked out in Pittsburgh Pirates gear, decided to go all in without looking at his cards. With the table staring at him in disbelief, he then flipped over his cards to prove he hadn't looked, exposing Q-3 offsuit.
The action then fell on another player, who had to decide whether or not to call off a big portion of his stack with pocket fives. The all-in player then proceeded to turn around from his table and pull his pants down, mooning his opponents while simultaneously exposing his genitals to the adjacent tables.
He then finished his performance by removing his shoes and socks, before tossing a sneaker on the table towards the dealer and walking away.
The player eventually made the call, but suffered a bit of a bad beat to lose the pot. The shoeless man may have doubled up in the hand, but it ultimately didn't matter when he was removed from the tournament.

Just happened at the WSOP Main Event. (Drunk?) dude all in blind preflop (full stack) level one. Tables his hand early. Takes shoe off and throws it at a dealer / player in the tank.
Who throws a shoe?
(Hilarious, but not great for the game…)

The naked man decided to take his antics to the Luxor, where he was arrested after climbing on top of a craps table, leading a cheer, and once again showing his bits to the crowd.

Fortunately for the now jailed-man, later identified as Pittsburgh sports super fan Ken Strauss, he was able to score a picture with Daniel Negreanu before he was incarcerated.

Incredibly, this wasn't the only player disqualified from the main event on day 1c. Apparently, an inebriated poker player named Georgii Belianin thought it would be funny to scoop up his neighbor's entire stack while dragging a small pot.
Belianin, who opponents said smelled of alcohol, didn't think it was so funny a bit later when WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel escorted him out of the tournament area.
Day 1C off to a BANG! Ivey out in just 51 minutes, Georgii Belianin allegedly tried stealing a stack…all this and it's only level one! The Main Event baby! @PokerCentralhttps://t.co/W9mnkXdxHfpic.twitter.com/ATs7ZGxng0

Hello
I really want to apologize to all players, staff, mr. Effel and the whole poker community for my unprofessionalism and misbehavior in WSOP main event. I take full responsibility for my behavior that I really got drunk and could not control myself.
