Tiffany Michelle, who I dealt Aces to on Day One seems to have put those chips to good use as she has made the group of 27 players (3 tables) starting the final day of play. Right now she is guaranteed to win over a quarter million dollars. If she makes the final two tables, she will be guaranteed over three hundred thousand and if she survives to the final table, she will get, at worst, over nine hundred thousand. It will take eighth place this year to be paid a cool million.
This year, for the first time, the final table will be delayed. ESPN decided that they wanted the television experience to be "Near real time" so that when the champion is crowned, you won't be seeing six month old news on ESPN. Starting July 22nd, ESPN will be airing weekly episodes of poker from this year's World Series of Poker. By the time November rolls around, viewers will have seen all the tapings of preliminary events and the build up to the final table. The final episodes should air the day after they actually happen.
Best of luck to Tiffany. It would be really cool to have such a special connection to a player at the final table.
