History Awaits; 2022 WSOP Main Event Final Table Gets Underway Today at 2 p.m.

From a field of 8,663 just ten players remain in the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event, each with their own story about what it took to get them to this point.

The second-biggest WSOP Main Event in history and the second-biggest tournament prize pool in history are side-notes as, over the next two days, countless more storylines will unfold as one player writes their name in the history books as world champion.

Leading the way are joint chip leaders Matthew Su and Espen Jorstad. Jorstad scored a massive double late on Day 7 while Su grew his stack steadily through the day. They will both return with 83,200,000 in chips, good enough for 69 blinds.

Not far behind them is Croatian Matija Dobric who has already moved up to third on the all-time Croatian money list with this result; a seventh-place finish would see him move top. Four other players sit with 40+ big blind stacks and will look to avoid any early speed bumps in their pursuit of the title.

Australian Adrian Attenborough will look to become only the second Australian WSOP Main Event champion after Joe Hachem while Michael Duek will hope to better the third-place finish he booked in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship. John Eames will want to add the Main Event bracelet to the WSOP Circuit ring he won eight years ago and Aaron Duczak is hoping to snag another Main Event title for Canada 12 years on from Jonathan Duhamel.

Rounding out the final table is Jeffrey Farnes with 29 big blinds, Asher Conniff with 20 big blinds, and short stack Philippe Souki who will look to score an early double back into contention.
