We are here in the tournament theatre at Harrah's, as the staff prepares the room for the conclusion of the Bayou Poker Challenge. The room has been reconfigured, and all poker tables have been removed. All of them, that is, apart from the final table, which is positioned on stage, backdropped by the recognizable WSOP starscape.

When we begin play in just under an hour, we will have nine players battling for the championship ring and their spot in the record books. Here are the chip counts for the field:

Seat 1: Floyd Vanderford - 65,000
Seat 2: Chuck Kelley - 142,000
Seat 3: Lou Esposito - 116,000
Seat 4: Timothy "TK" Miles - 687,000
Seat 5: Jeff Tims - 345,000
Seat 6: Ed Jatho - 406,000
Seat 7: Marc Fratter - 321,000
Seat 8: Gabe Costner - 166,000
Seat 9: Nick Ceci - 256,000

Following are brief biographies of all nine players. We'll see you back here at 2:00pm CDT when the action starts!
