Is Ironside playing?

Feel like this has lost its prominence since they moved it from London

why would that be?

does it need to be held in London?

many UK players going across do you think?

starts tomorrow

Interested to see how it goes, the local regs are quite excited. They ran a satty for Oktoberfest in my local tiny little casino in the Turkish area of town which only usually has 3 poker tables, but somehow got 80 people. They are closing that casino for the entire WSOPE as all the staff will be at the event.

I'm worried that the casino doesn't have the capacity to handle all the players. Don't think they are using the hotel over the street as in EPTs (the infamous hotel that got robbed) -

 I am playing Oktoberfest 1a tomorrow at 10am. This is the earliest I have ever played a poker tournament in my entire life!

Does not seem to be  much media interest or discussion on the WSOPE which is now entering Day 6.

Good result for John Gale, who finished 2nd for €97,804 in the €550 NLH. He seems to do pretty well considering his recent health issues, & his age (61).

The €3,250 8 handed PLO is down to the Final Table, with Richard Gryko in 2nd, & Roberto in 3rd, with €126,000 to the winner, & all of them have €13,000 locked up.

Forgot about this.

Good old Gizzimow getting weighed in!

Good luck to the 2 Rs in the Omaha.

I wish

Could murder a curry wurst or 6

there is a live stream of this now

Good work Rich, thanks.

Love to see Gryko win this. He's an animal when he has a stack.

Bojang flopped Jacks Full, Gryko turned Queens full.

Down to 7.

report on Richard Gryko's win

Great stuff.

I might add that I was thrilled to bits today to receive an e-Mail from Margaret, who is Richard's doting Mum. She watched every hand on the Live stream, heart in mouth.

She has been a blonde almost from Day One, solely to follow Richard's progress in Events, & she  much appreciated that blonde mentions Richard positively whenever able.

I respect Richard immensely, there are few in poker I respect as much. We don't have much in common - his IQ is about quadruple mine, & he does not suffer old fools gladly -  but that does not inhibit my admiration for him. I was chuffed to bits when he won "my" UKPC High Roller back in August, too.   

A shame he is not a forum poster, he used to post here most eloquently, &, typically Richard, bluntly. 

18 remain in the WSOPE Monster Stack including Simon Deadman

Well Played Sir

Good stuff, wp!

love his Twitter update

Any mug can win one bracelet...
Turns out any mug can win two!

I watched some earlier where the Polish guy went from 600-1.4m at dinner, it didn't look like there would be any other winner :O

Great result, congrats Barny

Lovely stuff, could not be more pleased for the old boy. He's north of 60, you know.

The Day 2 WSOPE Main Event table draw, late reg open until 12 noon http://bit.ly/1OPhVDi

the wsope main got 313 players

32 paid, e883,000 for first

given such low numbers is it time for them to admit that wsop Europe is a mistake and ruins the integrity of bracelets? or is it merely the wrong european location?

or do you think (if you care) that lowish numbers are ok to expand the wsop franchise to newer territories?

It's in the wrong location and poorly marketed imo. Until someone posted it up here a few days prior to it starting, I hadn't even given it much thought.

Needs to be in the UK imo. Plenty of players here, including foreign players due to legislation in recent years.

I don't think it ruins the integrity of bracelets. Sooo many good players nowadays and such huge fields at the wsop that there needs to be more events imo.

Before the poker boom players were winning bracelets with hardly any players in the field and the standard was a lot lower.

Wasn't at all bothered about it. The field sizes are puny, hard to make an argument for it being a good value stop. All about the glory. There'll be a festival in Malta in a few weeks getting 3-10x the runners for similar sized events - that tells the story imo.

It's a bit down on previous years, but roughly in the ballpark of what's it's always been isn't it?

Think the only ones that got massive numbers, were the first couple in London?

As Alun said, I don't think it's that out of line with the last few years?

The 2015 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event is down to only 65 players, Niall Farrell is in fourth place. http://ow.ly/TF7fx

Everyone in Germany is really excited about it. Disagree about it being the wrong location.

The problem was the schedule wasn't actually that good. Esp if you compare it to the EPT schedule the following week.

In Europe Stars crushes everyone, so unless they can get loads of online satties running, the fields will always be smaller than EPTs.
