On Nov 10 and 11, ESPN will then begin live coverage of the final table, bringing every single exciting moment live for viewers.

The 2014 WSOP Main event had been a mega-affair with 6,683 entries, from 87 countries fighting for 7 days to reach the coveted final table.

This year the final table will represent a mini-globe with countries, such as Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United States and first-timer to the November Nines – Brazil. These nine will return to the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, with their eye on the tantalizing amount of $10 Million, besides the WSOP Gold Bracelet and the glory of the title.

If the starting days of the Main Event were a wild rush to make it to the November Nines, the final table will be fraught with highly charged moments and thrilling action.

Players in Nevada and New Jersey get to participate in an online “Main Event Play Along” promotion organized by WSOP.com.

In New Jersey, WSOP.com will host a special $10 rebuy and add-on tournament with a $2,500 guarantee at 9 pm ET, while Nevada fans can log onto the channel at 6 pm PT for a similar buy in tournament, with a guaranteed a $2,000 prize pool.
