Two Canadians reach final table at World Series of Poker in Vegas
Scott Montgomery of Perth, Ont., and Darus Suharto of Toronto outlasted 6,835 other players to reach the final nine-man table that will compete Nov. 9-10 for one of the richest prizes in poker history. The tournament champion will take home US$9.12 million, while each of the nine players is guaranteed no less than $900,000 simply for reaching the final table.
Montgomery, who has four cashes at this year’s World Series of Poker, sits third with 19.7 million chips, behind only Dennis Phillips (26.3 million) and Ivan Demidov (24.4 million). Suharto is sixth at 12.5 million.
“It was good,” Montgomery told Pokernews.com after Monday’s gruelling 15 1/2-hour session. “It wasn’t a breeze, I needed to get lucky a couple of times, but overall it went well. I’m still here”.
