Racener Check-Raised Off This One

Action folded to Vainio Ville in the cutoff seat and he made a raise to 400. John Racener reraised from the button to 1,050. The blinds folded and then Ville made the call.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Ville checked. Racener fired 1,200. Ville check-raised to 3,350 and that was good enough to take it down.

Largest WSOP Europe Event in History

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante
WSOP Europe
WSOP Europe

Event #2: €1,090 No-Limit Hold'em here at the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe is officially the largest event in WSOP Europe history.

Another 390 players came out today and combined with the 381 from yesterday's Day 1a flight to make an overall field size of 771 players. That smashes the previous record of 608 set in 2009 in the £1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event that JP Kelly won.

Looks like the move to Cannes was a great idea by the WSOP Europe. Here at PokerNews, we're loving it and looking forward to all of the events still to come!
