While the Main Event will be on hiatus for a few months once the November Nine is reached in Tuesday (or much more likely during the early morning hours of Wednesday), the World Series of Poker will not stop. Between October 7-15, 2011, the WSOP will cross the pond to Cannes, France for the 2011 WSOP-Europe.
Given the tight Player-of-the-Year Race between Ben Lamb and Phil Hellmuth, we expect both will be making the trip and looking to clinch the coveted title. Here is a look at the WSOP-E schedule.
Sami Kelopuro only had 215,000 chips left at the last break, the second-shortest stack in the room. He didn't waste any time getting those chips in with , and he was behind but drawing live against Guy Gorelik's . "Run it twice," Erick Lindgren suggested with a smirk, hinting at Kelopuro's reputation as an online shark.
The flop was a swing and a miss for "LarsLuzak", and he was dead to six outs. Fourth street brought one of them, the , and Kelopuro let out a spicy, "Oooh," at the sight of the sweaty turn card. He was ahead now, but he had to fade the aces and the spades to stay alive.
River:
That's all she wrote for the online legend, relegated to the rail with about 110 players left.
Matthew Salsberg opened with a raise to 75,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Hoi Lee who called from the big blind. The flop came . Lee checked, and Salsberg continued for 115,000. Lee called. Both players then checked the turn and river.
Salsberg showed for aces, and Lee mucked. Salsberg has 1.94 million now, while Lee is sitting on 1.775 million.
We figured since we told you about the upcoming World Series of Poker Europe, we ought to tell you about the recently-announced WSOP-Circuit schedule for the 2011-2012 season; afterall, not everyone will be able to make it the Europe, but the Circuit may be holding a stop in your neck of the woods.

Phil Collins - "I've got nine mill-no, wait! TEN!"
Lance Steinberg has become the fourth player at the feature table to have been sent to the rail by Phil Collins, who by all accounts, is on the sickest run in all of WSOP history.
