Schulman, Medic Make WPT Final Table, Deeb Comes Up Just Short (Zing!)
Since it is nearly impossible to write a well-structured lead sentence about the final table being set at the WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals without using the word "final" in the sentence at least twice, we'll make this post short, one because our brains are hurting from trying dammit, and two as a tribute to our little buddy Freddy Deeb.
Last year's champ Nenad Medic and 2005 champ Nick Schulman are among the remaining six. Schulman is second overall in chips with 4,395,000. Medic is short-stacked with 555,000.
Speaking of short-stacked, the aforementioned half-man, half-amazing Deeb bowed out in 9th place, banking $108,081.

SEXY UPDATE: Kimberly Lansing interviews three of the final table-ist, including Schulman and Medic (after the jump) and Tom "durrrr" Dwan below. Note: Sexy referencing KL, not the dudes, in case there was any confusion.

I believe that having the two prior champs at a final table is a record, but I'm still looking into it. No player in WPT history has ever won the same tournament twice, so if either Medic or Schulman wins, that *will* be a record.

Is that some sort of record, having the two prior champs at the final table?
