WSOP players per table
 

Forgive me if this is too simple for this thread, but I'm trying to settle an arguement.

I got into a discussion last night about the WSOP. We were argueing about the people per table. Some said there were 10 per table, others said 9 as the 10th person is the dealer. And another said "10 per normal table, but the final table has 9."

What is it?

Well if you or your friend can rewatch the 2004 WSOP, you'll hear the comentators discussing how it is normally 9 per and now it had to go to 10 per because of the field of 2500+. They split into 2 x 1200 fields with 150+alternates that had to wait for people to be knocked out to get in.
They had 120 tables going x 10 people per table this year. Probably will be the same next year at the Rio, but at least they have the room with the currently expanding Convention center.
