There's a slight delay to the start of this final table, as we are waiting on the arrival of a countdown clock. Stay tuned, the cards will be in the air very soon.
Though the aspiring poker professionals are crammed around the rail near the feature table to check out the big names like Jeff Lisandro, Gus Hansen, Chris Ferguson and David Steicke as they battle it out in the $100,000 Challenge, directly behind them on the second feature table, the final preparations are being made for the final table of Event #7: $1,150 No Limit Hold'em w/Rebuys.
There's no shortage of big names over on this side, albeit they may not be as well known as those who feature on those eight-foot high posters around the Crown Poker Room. England's JP Kelly is perhaps the most well-known player at this final table, with a stellar poker CV (including a runner-up finish in last year's GBP ��1,000 WSOP Europe event), but we can't forget about Australia's Andrew Scarf, who has had some great results during Season 2 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT) and as such finished third in the Player of the Year race.
