WSOP History: Looking Back at the November (and October) Nines

Level 23 : 2,500/5,000, 625 ante
2013 WSOP November Nine
2013 WSOP November Nine

No stage in poker stood as a bigger goal for a tournament player than the final table of the WSOP Main Event. For years, that meant going to sleep knowing you had the chance of a lifetime, to go down in poker history in the next few days as the cameras captured your every bet, raise and fold.

All of that changed in 2008.

The year after Jerry Yang's Main Event victory was broadcast to all on ESPN's standard tape delay, organizers made a decision to try to increase the excitement and anticipation around the final table: after the final nine was reached, play would be paused. At that point, everyone left would go home with 9th-place money and the players would reconvene a few months later to play out the final table on a short tape delay.

That lasted until 2016, and this is the history of the November (and October) Nines.

Whitesell's Quads Bust Ciccone's Aces

Level 22 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Play folded around to Carmine "Shem22" Ciccone in the small blind for a raise to 6,400. Rick "soooGRATEFUL" Whitesell went all in from the big blind for 47,270 and Ciccone made the call, covered by just 74 in chips.

Rick "soooGRATEFUL" Whitesell: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Carmine "Shem22" Ciccone: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The big board of {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} flopped quads for Whitesell, and the {10-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river could not save Ciccone from elimination.

Rhoda & Yau Fall at the Same Time; Yau Bubbles

Level 21 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
Ethan Yau RampagePoker

Timothy "valuebet" Rhoda raised all in for 23,248 from the hijack and "Pjmaster" called from the cutoff.

"Pjmaster": {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Timothy "valuebet" Rhoda: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Rhoda was behind needing help and the {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} flop did give him an open-ended straight draw.

The {7-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn and Rhoda needed any ace, ten or five to stay alive but he {4-Hearts} river ended his tournament.

The very same hand saw WSOP bracelet winner Ethan "Rampunts" Yau fall holding less chips making him the official bubble boy.

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert

Kathy "Luckygal" Liebert raised all in for 31,076 from the cutoff and Corey "Corgasm" Paggeot called from the big blind.

Kathy "Luckygal" Liebert: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Corey "Corgasm" Paggeot: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Liebert was behind holding two overs and the {7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop gave her a few more outs with a Broadway draw.

Unfortunately for her, neither the {9-Clubs} turn nor the {8-Hearts} river helped her hand and she was eliminated a few spots short of the money bubble.
