The biggest story of the final table? Mark Newhouse's incredible feat of making it to his second straight "November Nine" final table. Newhouse was able to navigate his way through a field of over 6,000 players to become the first person to ever make two World Series of Poker final tables in a row in the "November Nine" era.

The last player to make two World Series of Poker main event final tables in a row? Dan Harrington, who made the final table in both 2003 and 2004. The field sizes, however, were much smaller (839 players and 2,576 players), which makes Newhouse's accomplishment all the more incredible.

Mark Newhouse has experienced unbelievable highs and soul-crushing lows during his career as a professional poker player and it will be interesting to see how his story plays out in November. Newhouse finished a disappointing 9th at last year's final table - where we he finish this year?

Six different countries will be represented at the final table - United States, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Brazil.

The "November Nine" final table will officially get underway on November 10th, with the tournament set to reach its conclusion the next day.
