News on all 8 events through next week

65 runners must be disappointing

You must have got this from UK PokerNews today, Glazier actually won it yesterday.

65 must be the smallest non-one drop field since the boom. The €1k re-entry looks to have got less than 400 which seems small, I would have thought the (near) Paris venue would have massively increased attendance this year.

I wondered about the scheduling, overlapping with the tail end of the EPT London fortnight

Do we think many of the British big buy-in guys are going across?

I must admit to have heard very little about the WSOPE compared to previous years (London or Cannes) hence my tardiness with the thread

I dunno. I spoke to a few big names last week who said they were not bothering this year.

My big gripe with the post London WSOPE is that they seem to be very restrictive when it comes to the media. PokerNews had exclusivity in Cannes and now Pokerlistings have it this year. I think thats generally why we hear less about it.

Very true about pokernews not covering it but seen a few of the big Americans and Canadians who don't usually play epts like hellmuth,Buchanan and David "bakes" baker have made the trip early to help ept London numbers,surprised numbers haven't been better for wsope but I hear venue isn't that close to Paris?

I've seen Liv so far from the UK and that's it.

Venue is lovely, obviously not as nice as Cannes, nor is it near to all those rich Italian punters we love.

Played both day 1's of the 1k, can confirm its very juicy with a lot of scaled/finned types. I think it attracted over 600 in the end which is pretty good, tomorrow will be a decent indicator with the €5k mixmax.

Made the schedule so unappealing. WSOPE brand on the wain at the moment. Schedule should include a lot of straight-forward hold'em comps at accessible buy-in levels for the time being.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. I think they do it to make it attractive to the big name Americans, it doesn't actually encourage growth though.

Another brilliant day of poker has wrapped at the WSOPE in Enghien-les-Bains with Henrik Johansson and Phil Ivey taking the spotlight as the tables went quiet for the night.

Johansson, a fairly unheralded grinder from Sweden, was anything but today is he racked up the big stack heading into the final table of Event 2, €1,100 NLHE Re-Entry.

Ivey, meanwhile, lead a parade of big names that included Phil Hellmuth, Scott Clements and November Niners Marc-Etienne McLaughlin and David Benefield into Day 2 of the marquee €5,300 Mix Max event.
Johansson Controls 25% of Chips In Event #2

Day 2 in Event 2 started with 85 players and 8.5 levels later was reduced to just nine.

Swede Henrik Johansson will go in tomorrow as undisputed chip leader with 587,500 and over a quarter of the chips in play.

Johansson's stack got some extra padding when he eliminated Marco Conti in tenth place to set the final nine.

Joining Johansson are a relatively unknown but deciedly determined group all looking for their first bracelet. The full final table line up:

    Seat 1: Daniel Laidlaw - 357,000
    Seat 2: Daniel Weinman - 408,000
    Seat 3: Serge Ekert - 28,500
    Seat 4: Jose Obadia - 119,000
    Seat 5: Henrik Johansson - 587,000
    Seat 6: Jean Philipe Tuffery - 142,000
    Seat 7: Andrei Konopelko - 101,000
    Seat 8: Yaniv Jacque Botbol - 85,000
    Seat 9: Adriano Torregrossa - 155,500
 

The first "big-name" event of the 2013 WSOPE kicked off today in the Casino Barriere with 135 players taking aim at the prestigious €5,300 Mix Max bracelet.

Registration is open right up until the start of Day 2 so that number could increase but no one is likely to take any of the focus off Phil Ivey tomorrow.

Ivey, who still sends a buzz through a poker room whenever he appears, did exactly that when he took a seat early in the day.

He didn't disappoint, either, socializing with fans and playing plenty of hands before bagging up a solid 51,300 chip stack.

The end-of-day chip leader is Matt O'Donnell with 73,425 but he'll have to contend with multiple bracelet winners among the 67 players bearing down tomorrow. Scott Clements, Jason Duval, James Dempsey and Phil Hellmuth are just a few of them.

Six-handed play starts at 1:00pm and play will go down to the Final 16. The Final 16 will play four-handed on Day 3 and the final four will battle it out heads up.

The top 10 in chips entering Day 2:

    Matthew O'Donnell 73,425
    Ville Mattila 70,120
    Scott Clements 68,625
    Jason Duval 68,525
    James Dempsey 65,175
    Chris Klodnicki 64,175
    Tuan Le 61,100
    David Dayan 59,025
    Jonathan Little 58,500
    Phil Hellmuth 55,950

good luck to Flushy today

can't make my mind up on whether to go for the main or not....unfinished business.

rest of the schedule didn't interest me one bit tbh

Anyone who's anyone has won a mixmax event in France.

4 handed, oioi

Oooh, go on James, good luck!

Allez M. le Flush!

Good luck Demps!

Gl flushy.

Keep going flushy

I hope JB hasn't read this thread, as it refers to a couple of November 9ers.

Oh dammit, they are down to 9?

Gl flushy

The latest Chip Counts I can find for the Flushy thing seem to suggest 16 players remain, & they now play 4-handed, so perhaps that was what Flushy was saying.

Anyway, good luck to him, bring it home man.

Dempsey Busts in Massive Pot

James Dempsey and Darko Stojanovic had recent history and it came as no surprise to see them tangle again. The surprise was the size of the pot.

Stojanovic opened from first position before Dempsey three-bet to 27,000 from the big blind. Stojanovic’s answer was to four-bet all in for 264,000.

Dempsey had another big decision and he elected to call rather than fold, helping to create a pot worth around a quarter of the chips in play.

Stojanovic: Q♠ Q♣

Dempsey: 9♠ 9♦

The board ran 6♥ J♠ 4♥ 7♣ 3♣.

Dempsey looked a bit shell-shocked as he wandered off.


:-(

Bugger.

Yeah bit tilting, guy was an absolute clown, nearly hero'd it off earlier turns out i was good on 9724 with 22 but coudnt call his 2x pot shove even though my gut said to do so.

No worries, went out got drunk late regged the €2k and now am prob 2nd in chips going into day 2 with 60k (3x average)

Report wasn't wrong though, was definitely shell-shocked :(

I'm afraid to say he won

What a joke, so i late regged the 2k after busting the 5k span it up came back with big stack.

Bubbled bursts there are 35 left and av is ~55k i have just over 100k and am 3rd in chips, i get it all in pre vs the guy who is second in chips, winner will have final table average stack. TT vs 96os.....seems fair

UKPN report...

On Thursday, when the bubble burst in Event #5: €2,200 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2013 World Series of Poker Europe, 13-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth became the first player to ever cash in 100 bracelet events. Eight-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel also cashed in the event, and remains in second on the all-time cashes list with 80.

Good luck to Flushy and Dubai, Devilfish too. Part of a very small and exclusive group of Brits doing battle across the Channel

David Anthony Shallow? Approve.

Jereome Gregory Raymond Huge. That his real name?

Shallow's Comedy Slowroll.

From Poker Listings.....


Salman Behbehani has gotten himself the reputation as a slow-roller, but a funny one at that. It’s almost become necessary to slow roll him back if the opportunity arises. It just arose for Dave Shallow and he took full advantage.
 
There was a raise to 1,200 that Shallow three-bet up to 2,650. Behbehani had been shoving a lot on Shallow’s opens but this time he four-bet to 9,600, leaving himself just 475 behind.
 
The original raiser folded and Shallow only called.
 
The flop came 3♣ 8♠ T♠ and both players checked which caused an outbreak of laughter. The same happened on the T♥ turn and J♥ river to ever increasing laughter all around them.
 
Shallow held his cards up and said to Behbehani, “You win!”
 
Behbehani looked at him and said, “Oh my god, you’re slow rolling me!”
 
He was right as Shallow opened A♣ A♦ to beat Behbehani’s A♥ Q♦.
 
Comedy gold to end the night’s play.

375 players in the 2013 WSOPE main event. 1M euros for first.

Down from a field of 420 a year ago.

Better than I thought with new location less Italians and not as many fits as I thought

Someone kill me

What happened?

I saw you had 200K+ and then finished with 60K.

Still in though James.

bluff's report on the final

48 year-old Phil Hellmuth showed last year that it was still possible for an old school player to win big after taking down the WSOPE Main Event. A year later, it's a youngster less than half Hellmuth's age who has come to the fore with 19-year-old Adrian Mateos taking the bracelet and €1m first prize.

The Spaniard dashed the hopes of the French rail by beating local hero Fabrice Soulier after a marathon four-hour heads up session which ended in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Mateos had started the day with the chip lead and after a quiet opening session boosted his stack still further with the first elimination of the day. Benny Spindler bluffed away a huge chunk of change to Jerome Huge on the previous hand but it looked as if the poker gods were smiling on him when he was dealt pocket queens immediately after. The ladies couldn't hold against Mateos' KT though which sent the German to the rail in sixth.

The only American at the final table, Ravi Raghavan, was the next to go and once again it would be Mateos who served up the elimination. All the chips hit the middle on a KsTs8h board with Mateos in front with top two-pair. Raghavan, with AsQs, had plenty of outs which were added to when the dealer turned the Aq. The river was a blank 3h though which sent the last non-European at the final table home in fifth.

Jerome Huge departed in fourth at the hands of fellow Frenchman Souiler. Huge put his compatriot to the test with a river shove on an AdQs3sKd8h board but after a short consideration Soulier made the call with AcQd which was way in front of Huge's 3c4c.

Dominik Nitsche struggled to gain any momentum during the latter stages and departed in third his short stacked shove with 9h8d unable to outrun Mateos' As7h.

Mateos started heads up play with Soulier with a 4.5 to 1 chip lead but the Frenchman soon ground his way back into contention and eventually drew level with his young opponent. The 19-year-old wasn't to be denied though, gradually reasserting control with a small ball strategy before eventually sealing victory 160 hands into heads up play.

With the blinds at 30,000/60,000 Soulier raised to 130,000 with Mateos three-betting to 310,000. After a flop of 4cJd9s the Spaniard bet 275,000 to which Soulier responded by going in for 2.27m. Mateos went into the tank before eventually making the call and tabling AsKc which needed help against the Frenchman's 9d8d. The Ks on the turn changed everything though and was good enough to give Mateos the bracelet and the €1m first prize.

The official final table positions and payouts were as follows:
1. Adrian Mateos – €1,000,000
2. Fabrice Soulier – €610,000
3. Dominik Nitsche – €400,000
4. Jerome Huge – €251,000
5. Ravi Raghavan – €176,000
6. Benny Spindler – €126,000
7. Andrei Konopelko – €101,000
8. Shannon Shorr – €77,500

this is the guy everybody suspected railtard to be for ages. amadi 15

you dont mean armadi_07? or somethinglike that

Played with him on day 2, joke spewey and didn't adapt to players tightening. Still did enough to win a milly, seemed like a nice kid gl to him.

More Spanish poker players. Can't be a bad thing for the economy.
