ESPN airs WSOP finale tonight
The 2007 WSOP Main Event final table.
The biggest event in all of poker concludes on ESPN tonight.
The 2007 WSOP Main Event has been played out on ESPN over the last seven weeks but it's all been leading up to the dramatic finale episode which features the final table and Jerry Yang's quest to win the holy grail of poker.
Thousands of players began the 2007 World Series but in the final episode of ESPN's coverage it's down to just nine players.
Although everybody in the poker world knows who won the prestigious contest, the ESPN broadcast is the best way to see exactly how it was done.
The final table was truly an international affair that included Danish poker sensation Philip Hilm, maniac Hevad Khan, charismatic South African Raymond Rahme, dour Russian Alexander Kravchenko, the pride of England Jon "Skalie" Kalmar, computer engineer Lee Childs, Full Tilt Poker Pro Lee Watkinson, Canadian Tuan Lam and of course everybody's favorite card-playing Christian - Yang.
Unfortunately Las Vegas legend Scotty Nguyen had a catastrophic meltdown in the previous episode and missed the final table by just one player.
Highlights of the final table include Jerry Yang's relentless aggression, the surprising early exit of chip leader Philip Hilm and Kravchenko's remarkable staying power.
The episode airs tonight at 8 p.m. and then again at 9 p.m. It will also be played on ESPN2 so check your local listings.
