Hellmuth Snap-Folds Top Pair

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.

WSOP Europe Shows Growth in Cannes

Level 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.

Carlos Mortensen Leaves The Building

We joined the action on a flop of {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} and with 2,000 in the pot. David Peters checked from under the gun and Carlos Mortensen bet 1,700 from his short stack and Peters called. The turn was {5-Spades} and once again Peters checked and this time Mortensen moved all-in and Peters called quicker than Carl Lewis used to run the 100 metres.

Peters{9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Stefano Ferrara{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Wade lost quite a few of his precious chips, he's down to 26,800 with half an hour left before the day ends.
