Bear With Us

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the starting time today. The starting time is listed as 2:00 on some documents, and 3:00 on others. Tournament Director Bill Bruce tried to get the ball rolling at 2:00, but it has taken until now to get all the ducks in a row. The players and spectators have been in their seats for more than a half hour and seem relaxed and comfortable. We are just waiting for ESPN to finish preparing their cameras, and we should be in action in the next few moments.

Event #7 - $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em Final Table

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the 2008 WSOP Event #7 Final Table. We are set up here in the ESPN arena as the room is being prepared for play. Cameras, lights, and mics are being checked and re-checked, and soon the players and spectators alike will file into their seats. We still have some interviews and other housekeeping to get out of the way, but Tournament Director Bill Bruce says he expects to be underway on time at 2:00pm local time.

As we sit here though, we can tell that may not be the case. The chips have not even been un-bagged yet and there are just a couple of our nine players lingering in the tournament area. We do expect to be playing shortly, perhaps just a few minutes late though.

Chris Bjorin is a native of Sweden, and currently resides in London, England where he is retired. He is a two-time WSOP bracelet winner. In total, he has been in the money 39 times at the WSOP, including three final tables last year, and has more than $3.5 million in total winnings over the course of his poker career.

Bjorin lists his age as "too old", but he hopes to show that he has acquired a good deal of wisdom in his years. Being the senior member of the table, he is looking to teach these youngsters a little lesson.

Final Table Bios: Seat 3: Shannon Shorr (Las Vegas, Nevada) 627,000

Shannon Shorr is a 23-year-old native of Birmingham, Alabama. He was a star baseball player at Shades Valley High School, and attended the University of Alabama for two and a half years. He was working on a degree in Civil Engineering before he withdrew during his junior year to pursue his career as a professional poker player. His home base is Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but he spends the majority of the year on the road traveling the tournament circuit.

His has more than $2 million in career tournament earnings. His largest single cash came in 2006, when he captured the $10,000 Bellagio Cup championship. That was worth $960,690, and he'll pick up another half million dollars today if he can outlast the others and win the bracelet.
