The World Series of Poker Main Event final table has been set and the most famous player in modern history failed to make the grade by a cat’s whisker.

The number 11 has been seared into the heart of Daniel Negreanu by a branding iron that will burn for a long while yet. That’s the position he fell in his attempt to win the 2001 Main Event, and history repeated itself yesterday as the poker community was preparing itself for a Main Event without the most famous face in poker.

The Holy Grail of poker attracted 6,240 players, and after seven days of scintillating action, only nine remain. The clock has been stopped, the chips have been stowed, and the players sent to do their thing until being recalled on November 8th where they will compete for a $7.6m first prize.

Here is the run down of exits, eliminations and evictions.
