The 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table is set and now all the poker fans have to wait until November to know who’ll be the 2010 WSOP champion.
Among the “November Nine” there’s an Italian player, Filippo Candio, who is the first Italian ever at the final table of the WSOP: “I’m so happy. I started my career three or four years ago. I won an Italian Championship in 2009. I worked hard for this career and I think it’s important for my mission. Young guys try to become professional poker players, they say all is possible, if I do it, they can do it” the 22 year-old Candio said. Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi has only 14,450,000 in his chip count, but stated: “Every time when I don’t have any chips, I end up winning the tournament and it seems like it’s going to go this way again”. But, if “The Grinder”, who is among the most successful tournament performers since the poker boom began, complains about his low chip count, the 37 year-old Californian player Cuong “Soi” Nguyen has only 9,650,000. He just played three live tournaments before this one and told that it was watching poker on TV that got him in the game. “I saw it on ESPN and Chris Moneymaker, figured, if he can do it, why can’t I?”.
