Darvin Moon: 2009 WSOP November Nine
Share

Darvin Moon is one of WSOP November Nine 2009.

The final table of the 2009 Main Event has been decided.

All nine are now millionaires and in November they meet again in Las Vegas to settle who gets the grand prize of $8.5 million dolars and the Main Event glory.

Darvin Moon — In the entire field, there might not have been a more unlikely candidate to lead the pack for the next three months.

“What were there, 6,400 players in this tournament?” a stunned Moon asked, unaccustomed to the attention. “I’d guess about 6,300 of them are better poker players than I am.”

One of the most human and likable characters on the WSOP landscape in some time, the 45-year-old Maryland lumber business owner insists he has no interest in the trappings of fame and wants only to play poker, although there are many movers and so many shakers who will try to change his mind. With more than a quarter of the chips in play, he has to be considered the early favorite, although there are no guarantees he’ll find a run of hands that remotely approaches the one he saw in getting here.

    He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay.
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    Maybe the next Moneymaker fairytale?
