After greater than three months off, the 2016 World Series of Poker main event November Nine will return to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to battle it out for the bracelet, the $8 million first-place prize and the title of worldwide champion.

The final table might be broadcast live Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night on ESPN and ESPN2. It's also possible to see it at the WatchESPN app. Once again, Lon McEachern and Norman Chad will provide the play-by-play and color commentary. They are going to be joined by sideline reporter Kara Scott, in addition to Antonio Esfandiari, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth as analysts.

Each of the nine finalists is already guaranteed a seven-figure score, having been paid out $1 million in July, and the relatively mild payjumps may help the action along to maintain things interesting for the viewers at home.

Here’s a glance on the remaining prizepool.

1. $8,000,000
2. $4,658,452
3. $3,451,175
4. $2,574,808
5. $1,934,579
6. $1,463,906
7. $1,250,000
8. $1,100,000
9. $1,000,000

The event will resume with 32 minutes, 50 seconds left in level 35 with blinds of 250,000-500,000 with a 75,000 ante. The common stack is simply over 37 million, worth 74 big blinds. Fernando Pons will start the day with just over 12 big blinds.
