November Nine 2016: Meet the Finalists of the WSOP Main Event
The final table of the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event will resume at level 35 with 32 minutes and 50 seconds remaining.
Gordon Vayo, at 27 years old, is the youngest finalist and has been playing poker since he was 15. He started playing online poker under the nickname holla-athca-boy and later used RemixIt and Holla@yoboy as his usernames. Gordon Vayo's bankroll was significantly affected by the 'Black Friday' incident, which blocked a substantial part of his funds on Full Tilt. Despite this, he won the main event of The River Series in Oklahoma in September 2016, earning $587,120.
Kenny Haller is known for creating detailed schedules of summer poker tournaments in Las Vegas. He has been a tournament director and discussed his role in a podcast with Joe Ingram. Jerry Wong, known online as hummylun, has a notable online poker career, including winning a badugi tournament at WCOOP-2014 and finishing third in the PCA main event in 2013.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
