The last day of summer play for the US WSOP is done, and the fabled November Nine are set to do battle in the fall.

Play was supposed to end when only the final 8 players were left. But it didn't quite happen that way. The short stacks refused to bust, the big stacks went on rollercoaster rides, and in the end they all just ran out of time.
