The action has been amazing at the WSOP, with the addition of rowdy spectators being escorted from the scene. After more than 16 hours of play, the championship table has been reduced to 9 in number. Steven Garfinkle finished in 10th place with a payout of $476, 926 and the knowledge that he played his final hand well.
