Above are the chip counts of the players that made the 2007 WSOP Main Event final table. It was a roller coaster for '98 champion Scotty Nguyen who at one point won a pot of 8.1 million from Tuan Lam, only to lose a pot of 11.46 million to Lam shortly there after. Nguyen put it all in against chip leader Philip Hilm with a flush draw but did not hit, leading to his exit in 11th place. Nguyen received over $476,000 for his performance. Bill Elder and Daniel Alaei finished in 23rd and 25th respectively, each taking home $333,490. Steve Garfinkle just missed the final table, finishing in 10th and taking home $476,926.
