There's now just nine players left who can all brag on facebook, twitter, instagram, iMessage and all other sorts of new communication that they've made a World Series of Poker final table. Some of them even grabbed their phone and actually called home to let them know. Others celebrated the old fashion way, with people in person on the rail.

Van Nguyen (twice) and Roger Lussier have shoved so far, but no player has called yet. Michael Quick is a bit on the short side as well, so there's three people in the absolute danger zone. So far, it's mostly blinds and antes being traded around though.

Boatman looks ready, and so do his two railbirds.

After the on the turn Perrone must have had some hope, but the on the river eliminated those as well.
