Online legend ‘Lena900’ headlines another accomplished Main Event final table where nine millionaires have been made this morning.
We are once again down to nine players in a record-breaking World Series of Poker Main Event.
Hopes of a female at the final table were, once again, dashed at the last moment when Kristen Foxen was eliminated in 13th for $600,000. The unofficial final table of ten became the official final table when Diogo Machado of Portugal exited in 10th:
Ladies and gentlemen…The 2024 @WSOP Final Table has been REACHED.
Coverage of the Final Table begins Tuesday at 3 P.M. PT on PokerGO.
We made it. 🔥

Relative unknown Jordan Griff is the chip leader with 90BBs. Bracelet winners Joe Serock and Brian Kim are among the notables remaining, with EPT Monte Carlo runner-up Boris Angelov also in contention.
The headliner, however, has to be Sweden’s Niklas Astedt. Better known as ‘Lena900’ online, he is widely regarded as the best online tournament player in the world. He is joint second in chips and likely the favourite to lift the bracelet this week.
