As stunts go, it’s a pretty good one. Foxwoods has gotten together the entire 2010 November Nine for a rematch -of sorts- to take place the February.

We’re actually a bit surprised this is the first time we’ve seen someone pull the November Nine back together for a bit of publicity – no doubt it helped that the group was largely North American and largely professional poker players.

In case they’ve slipped your mind, the 2010 November Nine are (in order of finish): Jonathan Duhamel, John Racener, Joseph Cheong, Filippo Candio, Michael Mizrachi, John Dolan, Jason Senti, Matt Jarvis, and Soi (Cuong) Nguyen.

The group will be reuniting for a special tournament on Tuesday, Feb. 8 that will be comprised of three tables (it’s unclear if that means 27 or 30 players total). Foxwoods will be filling the remainder of the seats via a series of qualifying tournaments Jan. 11 through February 3.

“We are thrilled to host these poker superstars at Foxwoods and are proud to be a part of such a historic event. We are pleased to be able to share this reunion of the 2010 November Nine with not only the Foxwoods players, but also the entire poker community,” said Terry Chiaradio, director of Poker Operations, Foxwoods Resort Casino.

Full details on the satellites and schedule can be found will most likely be posted at FoxWoodsLive.com.

The event will coincide with the upcoming edition of the Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge XIX tournament series, running from Feb. 4–13.

Would it be cooler if it was just a November Nine rematch? Probably. Is it the sort of smart marketing that’s necessary to keep casual players interested in poker? Absolutely.
