November Nine to include three PokerStars
hopefuls

A week from this very morning, the poker world will be celebrating its newest champion. 2008 WSOP champ Peter Eastgate will have given up his year-long reign in favor of the 2009 victor and it very well could be that Eastgate will be awarding the bracelet to a fellow PokerStars player.

Among the WSOP November Nine are three PokerStars players with their eye on poker's most coveted bracelet. When they sit down Saturday afternoon to resume the WSOP Main Event, Eric Buchman, Joe Cada, and Kevin Schaffel will be fighting to sit atop the poker globe for the next year.

Buchman's adult life has been focused solely around poker. He learned to play when he was a kid. Eventually, he ended up going to a casino with this brother and, in his words, "stumbled upon the poker room." He went to college at SUNY Albany and got a bachelor's degree in business, but to date, he's made all his money by playing poker. Before he even sat down to play in the WSOP Main Event, he'd won nearly $900,000 in live tournaments alone. Now he sits second in chips at the Main Event final table with 34,800,000 and is guaranteed no less than $1.2 million just for showing up in Vegas this weekend.

Eric Buchman

Joe Cada started playing poker at his high school lunch table. Competitive by nature, Cada soon realized he was pretty good at the game and started playing for real money as soon as he could. After a stint working at a restaurant and a couple of years in community college, Cada followed his true calling.

"Poker was the avenue I decided to stay on," he said.

To date, Cada has less than $30,000 in live winnings (understandable since he just turned 21 this year), but untold amounts of cashes online. He sits in the middle of the pack at the final table with a stack of more than 13 million. If he wins, he will become the youngest-ever WSOP Main Event winner (a record currently held by Team PokerStars Pro Peter Eastgate).

Cada playing at EPT Barcelona earlier this year

Kevin Schaffel is the old man of the PokerStars players at the table. When he graduated from Florida State in 1979, his fellow PokerStars players weren't even born. He spent the next 30 years heading up his family's direct mail and printing business.

He started playing poker at a friend's house when he was eleven years old. From there, he played in home games and casinos until he finally made it big enough to play in the 2004 WSOP (he finished 42nd for $60,000). His big successes, however, have come in the last year. After making the final table of the WSOP Main Event, Schaffel went out and played the WPT Legends of Poker, made the final table, and placed second for $471,000. He just recently went deep at the EPT event in London where he finished 19th for a nice payday.

Schaffel goes into the WSOP final table with 12,390,000 in chips.

Kevin Schaffel

Here's how the three PokerStars platers stack up against the other six players at the final table (you can always keep up with the stacks on our WSOP Chip Counts page).

Darvin Moon (USA) 58,930,000
Eric Buchman (USA) PokerStars player 34,800,000
Steven Begleiter (USA) 29,88,5000
Jeff Shulman (USA) 19,580,000
Joe Cada (USA) PokerStars player 13,215,000
Kevin Schaffel (USA) PokerStars qualifier 12,390,000
Phil Ivey (USA) 9,765,000
Antoine Saout (France) 9,500,000
James Akenhead (UK) 6,800,000

They'll be fighting for the following prizes.

1. $8,546,435
2. $5,182,601
3. $3,479,485
4. $2,502,787
5. $1,953,395
6. $1,587,133
7. $1,404,002
8. $1,300,228
9. $1,263,602

Schaffel and Buchman recently met on the felt again in London on the European Poker Tour. They had a chance to sit down and talk away from the action. Here's what they had to say.

The PokerStars Blog will once again be in Las Vegas to cover the final table from beginning to end. Join us for live coverage beginning just after noon Vegas time.

PokerStars EPT announces surprise stop in full
schedule

It was only a matter of time before the PokerStars European Poker Tour released the second half of its Season 6 schedule, and now that we've seen it, we don't mind having waited.

As of this time yesterday, you knew the EPT had been to Kyiv, Barcelona, London and Warsaw, and you knew it had planned stops in Vilamoura, Prague, and the Bahamas. The first half of the schedule was pretty exciting on its own, so there were no complaints there.

Now, we've seen the second half of the line-up, and we could write a thousand words about it. Instead, we'll just offer this picture.

Indeed, folks. You're looking at the Alps and the newest stop on the European Poker Tour.

In the schedule released this morning, the EPT has announced a brand new event: EPT Snowfest. This looks to be more than just a poker tournament. It's going to be a ski vacation in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria's Alpine Palace will host the ?3,500 Main Event March 21st - 26th, 2010.

That is just one of six tour stops announced in the final Season 6 schedule. In addition to EPT Snowfest, the European Poker Tour is headed back to all the places you have come to expect.

Here's the remainder of the schedule.

January 20th - 25th: EPT Deauville
February 16th - 21st: EPT Copenhagen
March 2nd-7th -- EPT Germany
March 21st - 26th -- EPT Snowfest
April 15th - 21st -- EPT San Remo
April 25th -30th -- EPT Monte Carlo

For a complete look at the full EPT schedule, check out the EPT tournaments page.

In the meantime, we hope you'll join us as we report from the newest stop on the EPT in Vilamoura, Portugal Nov 17-22.
