With the tournament director introducing the audience to our final table members, one player is conspicuously absent from the proceedings. Elie Payan (545,000) has not arrived to the final table arena as of yet and play has resumed without him. Perhaps Payan is taking a page out of Phil Hellmuth's book and is planning to take his seat fashionably late, but something tells us that this is not the case.
We will be sure to keep you updated on Payan's absence throughout the day, and will let you know if and when the Frenchman makes his first appearance at this final table.
