Well, technically, tomorrow is. But today marks the start of the playdown to poker's next world champion.
The much-scrutinized November Nine will reconvene at the Rio in Las Vegas to begin the quest for the $8.3 million first-place prize and esteemed privilege of being poker's de facto ambassador for the year.

All that's left now is the battle and, of course, the watching. Here's when/how you can tune in:
