Yes, I too am using the expression "November Nine". I have added the word Unknown because that is the best way to describe the final nine players in the World Series of Poker. The tournament has been a strange one. First, we have to wait until November so ESPN can build up the "anticipation" to generate ratings. ESPN is even waiting to finish this up on November 11th - Veterans Day to get a few more ratings. Second, who are these Nine people? Talk about luck maybe we should do what golf does, Pros and then the Open, for the lucky?!
I guess we will have alot of time to find out about the "Unknown November Nine". Here is the beginning of their few moments of fame - remember guys fame is fleeting; Dennis Phillips (pictured), Craig Marquis, Ylon Schwartz, Scott Montgomery, Darus Suharto, David "Chino" Rheem, Ivan Demidov, Kelly Kim and Peter Eastgate.
I would like to congratulate "Hot Chips" Tiffany Michelle on her 17th place finish, the highest for women and a force to be dealth with. Next year when she has a new sponsor, she will go further because she won't have to deal with nonsense!
