Chips bags are on the table and the players have begun to take their seats. A field of 872 has given us these final eight:
Seat 1: Daniel Clemente (1,345,000)
Seat 2: Sam Stein (6,145,000)
Seat 3: Tom Fuller (4,735,000)
Seat 4: "Miami" John Cernuto (1,310,000)
Seat 5: Yunus Jamal (3,940,000)
Seat 6: David Paredes (4,700,000)
Seat 7: Tom Marchese (2,370,000)
Seat 8: Eric Blair (1,690,000)
Each of the eight players gave an interview earlier in the day which will presumably become part of the ESPN2 broadcast of this event. Now we're just waiting for the television crew to conduct their final checks. It looks like play will begin very close to the 2pm scheduled start time.
Once cards are in the air, play won't conclude until we have a champion. PokerNews will be table-side from the first pitch of the cards to the last river. Join us for all the action!
When asked his primary profession, Blair replied, ��This is it.�� He bought into the NAPT Venetian Main Event directly and looks to turn that investment into a whole lot more with a win on Wednesday afternoon. He considers this a talented final table and is especially wary of Tom ��kingsofcards�� Marchese.
Blair travels the American tournament circuit and considers himself your ��standard, everyday guy.��

Software engineer Jamal grew up in Berlin, Germany, and �C now that he��s done so well at NAPT Venetian �C can��t resist heading back there next week to take part in the EPT Berlin. The 30-year-old immigrated to the States with his parents when he was 19 but regularly visits Berlin for holidays. He has been playing poker for five years and has had reasonable success in live tournaments. He chopped a 600-player $500 tournament at the Venetian last summer winning $23,006 and came third in a Caesar��s Palace tourney won by Barry Shulman in 2008. Already guaranteed a minimum payday of over $60,000, the NAPT Venetian final is his best result to date.
