Jeff Lisandro was just eliminated. He was all in on the flop with a flush draw against an opponent's top pair. The flush draw didn't come in for Lisandro and he couldn't find any other help.

WSOP Europe Shows Growth in Cannes

Nível 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Last year at the World Series of Poker Europe, which was held in London, the £2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event attracted 244 players. Phil Laak earned his first WSOP bracelet by winning the event and took home £170,802. This year, the buy-in for the event is €2,680, which currently equals about £2,300.

Although that change doesn't look that great, the event attracted many more players this year at 360 entrants. That's over 100 more than last year and first place rose to €215,999 (£185,736). Surely the move to Cannes from London has proven to have positive results so far. Furthermore, the players seem extremely happy with how everything has gone here on Day 1 of the WSOP Europe and are looking forward to a great Series.

From the button, Tobias Rohe raised to 900. Phil Hellmuth made the call from the big blind and then checked in the dark before the dealer ran the {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} flop. Rohe fired 900 and Hellmuth called.

The {Q-Clubs} landed on the turn and Hellmuth checked -- this time after the dealer dealt the board card. Rohe fired 3,000 and Hellmuth made the call.

The river card was the {4-Spades} and ellmuth checked after a brief hesitation. Rohe took his time and thought for a bit. He then moved all in for about 11,000. Hellmuth snap-mucked the {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} face up. Rohe didn't show as he was pushed the chips.

Jetten Full Throttle

Compartilhar no Twitter Compartilhar no Facebook

Peter Jetten just won a big pot and since we just missed the action he brought us up to speed. After a raise and a re-raise the action got to Jetten who was in the small blind and he decided to four-bet. The initial raiser shoved his remaining 25,000 into the pot and Jetten called.

The Canadian pro was well ahead with pocket kings and his hand held up against two nines. After that pot Jetten is our new chipleader with 70,000 chips.
