The final table players include Jamie Gold, Allen Cunningham, Richard Lee, Erik Friberg, Paul Wasicka, Douglas Kim, Rhett Butler, Michael Binger, and Dan Nassif.
A live pay-per-view broadcast of the the action will be available for anyone willing to put down the cash and take their time to observe an event that, last year, took 14 hours to complete…
