WSOP 2011 Main Event Day 8 A - World Series of Poker
The November Nine at the 2011 WSOP Main Event was set early Wednesday morning, with Ben Lamb, Phil Collins and Eoghan O'Dea playing starring roles.
While they might be the biggest names left in the field, six other players will return with them in November to play for the bracelet and 8.7 million.
Martin Staszko of the Czech Republic will take a 6 million chip lead over O'Dea and the rest of the field heading into November.
Play Becomes Fast as Players Take Shot
The most surprising aspect of Day 8 play at the Main Event was the pace of play.
By the time the dinner break was reached, the field had shrunk from 22 players to just 12.
Lars Bonding was the first big name to fall when he ran pocket aces into a set of fours from Konstantinos Mamaliadis.
Chris Moore, Gionni Demers and Aleksandr Mozhnyakov hit the rail shortly thereafter.
As players combined for the final two tables play was expected to slow, but that wasn't the case.
After Kenny Shih fell in 18th, WSOP National Champion Sam Barnhart got the last of his stack in with pocket nines, only to run into pocket kings from Pius Heinz.
Barnhart couldn't catch a nine and hit the rail.
Ryan Lenaghan, Andrey Pateychuk, Scott Schwalich and Konstantinos Mamaliadis all hit the rail prior to the dinner break.
