The World Plays Poker
Depending on how tonight concludes, this year's November Nine will see either seven or eight different countries represented among the final nine players, most likely a record for WSOP Main Event final tables. (Check out the profiles from earlier in the evening to see who is from where.)
A quick search back through the last decade shows the most countries represented at a single WSOP ME final table during the 2000s to have been six (in 2007).
2010 - U.S. (6), Canada (2), Italy (1)
2009 - U.S. (7), England (1), France (1)
2008 - U.S. (5), Canada (2), Denmark (1), Russia (1)
2007 - U.S. (4), Denmark (1), South Africa (1), Russia (1), Canada (1), England (1)
2006 - U.S. (8), Sweden (1)
2005 - U.S. (6), Australia (1), Ireland (1), Sweden (1)
