The Last and Final Table
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
What began with a record-breaking 768 runners six days ago has been cut down to just one lonely table containing the eight remaining survivors. They've all done well to make it this far, but seven of them will still meet with disappointment before the lights and the cameras can be switched off and the set deconstructed.
The tournament staff is toiling away, making last-minute preparations for today's big show. The chip bags are coming out, the dealers are suiting the decks, and a man with an oversized headset is tidying up the felt with a lint brush. Pretty soon, the spotlights will come on, and the eyes of the French poker world will fall upon these final eight players.
We're scheduled for a noon starting time, but then again, we're in France. It's a safe guess that you've got at least a half hour or so to kill, so we'll post some bios of the finalists for you to look at in the meantime. If you're a quick reader, move on to PokerNews TV and check out all of Gloria Balding's videos from this week at the EPT.
Sit tight, we'll be back as soon as the players file into their chairs.
