It’s down to the final two at the World Series of Poker!A logger from Maryland and a 21-year-old poker pro will compete Monday night for poker’s most prestigious prize and a payday of more than $8.5 million.

Darvin Moon, 46, is playing in his first WSOP event and Joseph Cada is a 21-year-old poker phenom hoping to become the youngest Main Event champion ever.

The two survived the longest U.S.-based Main Event Final Table in World Series of Poker history (a grueling, 14-hour-plus marathon session) for the chance to win the champion’s bracelet and the $8.5 million first-place prize. (The runner-up can look forward to a not-too-shabby $5.1 million.)

ESPN will air the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table on Tuesday, Nov. 10 from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (Eastern).
