2009 WSOP Winners & Standings

It's finally down to the 2009 WSOP Main Events November Nine , with amateur poker player Darvin Moon having the chip lead. Moon won his seat by playing a satellite tourney out of West Virginia and has never won any money at any tournament.

Moon has no illusions about being the best player and has stated that a large part of his success was due to getting some awesome hands during the tournament. "I told them as soon as I go card dead you guys will eat me alive. I'm humble. I know where I stand among the class of people I'm against. I'm outclassed by so far."

Here are the final nine that will be back at the WSOP final table on November 7th ;

If anyone can come back from such a short stack he can, but I don't believe he will. Should be interesting to see though.
