Huck Seed and Vanessa Rousso were introduced to the gallery and received a round of applause for making it to the final. They took their seats, and after a television introduction by Leeann Tweeden that included a few words with each player, cards were finally in the air.
This final is a two-out-of-three format. Each player has been given 640,000 chips. Blind levels start at 5,000 and 10,000 and will be fifteen minutes long.
