If you've been following our Main Event coverage you'll no doubt remember the story of Hal Lubarsky, a blind man who not only played the Main Event, but cashed in 197th place, earning over $51,000. Mr. Lubarsky is able to play live poker with the help of an assistant, who sits behind him and whispers his hole cards in his ear, as well as the action on the flop, turn and river.

Lubarsky was just introduced to the audience at the final table and was greeted with a standing ovation. He went around and shook hands with the four remaining players, wishing them luck.

Fast Pace

At 12:18pm today, last year's champ Jamie Gold announced "Shuffle up and deal!" With four players left, this final table has been progressing at a rapid pace. We have played for about five hours already.

At the 2006 WSOP main event, cards went in the air at 2:12pm and Jamie Gold won it at 3:40am. Total time was 13 hours and 28 minutes. It took 10 hours and 30 minutes for action to get down to the final four players.

At the 2005 WSOP main event (the last one at the Horseshoe), cards went in the air at 4:47pm and Joe Hachem won it at 6:41am. Total time was 13 hours and 54 minutes. It took 9 hours and 15 minutes for the action to get down to the final four players.

Without a doubt, the 2007 WSOP main event is going at a much faster pace than the two previous years. Stay tuned because you don't want to miss anything.
