WSOP Update

Official Day 7 Seat Assignments Announced

It's Day 7 of the 2008 WSOP Main Event, and the 27 surviving players will return today at noon to play down to the final nine. WSOP officials conducted a redraw at the end of Day 6 play, and have now released the Day 7 seat assignments. Personally, I'm disappointed in the eliminations of Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow (in 30th place). I'll probably now be pulling for any American, but specifically, I'd like to see Tiffany "Hot Chips" Michelle, the lone female, make a deep run. Here is how the remaining 27 players will line up:
