As part of ESPN's regular Tuesday night episodes of the 2008 WSOP, Bodog poker pros David Williams and Justin Bonomo will both be featured at the final table of the $5,000 Mixed Holdem event. The ESPN WSOP broadcast begins at 8pm ET.

Spanning three days, Event No. 4 featured a tough field of 332 entrants filled with some of the biggest names in poker and what eventually became one of the most stacked WSOP final tables seen at the 2008 WSOP.

Through the course of the final table, both young guns would see their chip stacks fluctuate. Unfortunately, Williams was unable to recover from a particularly brutal downswing and exited in seventh place, taking home $58,515. Bonomo survived the eliminations of Howard Lederer, Roland de Wolfe and Andrew Robl to go up against the "Best Poker Player to have Never Won a WSOP Bracelet," Erick LIndgren.

In his second WSOP final table, Bonomo was unable to overcome that which fate seemed to have deigned, a long-awaited WSOP victory for Lindgren. The newest Team Bodog member walked with $230,159 for his second-place finish and the knowledge that he faced a worthy opponent, who praised Bonomo's efforts in the post-event interviews.

Now that we've completey ruined the ending of this final table for you, if you don't want to watch it tonight, we understand. You could go play some online poker instead, there are plenty of qualifiers still available for the largest guaranteed prizepool online poker tournament in Bodog Poker history, the $250k Guaranteed.
