Main Event Episode 9

Only 17 players remain from a record setting field of 2,576. And of those 17 players, the two biggest stars are 1995 world champ Dan Harrington and the flamboyant Marcel Luske of Holland. Each has survived a roller coaster five days of poker to reach this point, handling bad beats, wild swings and the fickle poker gods with grace and a sense of humor. The road to the final table will not be easy however, standing in their way is chip leader Greg Raymer and 21 year old phenom John Murphy. At the end of the hour, only nine players will be left standing, only nine players still in the hunt for five million dollars.
