Robl Gone, Wigg Cruising
Andrew has just been eliminated by Anton Wigg. The Danish EPT winner brought us up to speed and explained what happened.
Robl ran into aces with pocket kings and lost the majority of his stack in the fourth hand of the day, and when the final handed came around he only had 1.300 left. It was a limped pot in which Robl decided to complete from the small blind with 
. Anton Wigg was sitting in the big blind with 
and the flop, 
, gave him top two pair. There were also two clubs on the board and after a bunch of checks the button bet out. Robl decided to shove his remaining chips after which Wigg re-raised to 2.700 and that got the button to fold.
Robl couldn't find a way out on the turn or river and that's it for him. Anton Wigg is doing very well with almost twice the starting stack after arriving an hour late.

342 Players And Counting
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Last year, the £2.500 6-Max event at the WSOPE was home to 244 players with Phil Laak winning a grand total of £170.802. This year we've already have 342 players registered, with over two hours of late registration still ahead. The prize pool is going to be massive for this first event, and we're expecting to see very big fields for the rest of the tournaments as well!
Devilfish Unsuccessfully Defends His Blinds
Pierre Portier raised to 300 on the button and Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot called in the small blind. The flop was 
and Portier bet 400 out of position. The fish told Portier to slow down and bet 400 himself and Portier made the call. The turn was the 
and Ulliot check-called a 500 Portier bet before they both checked the 
turn.

Visser Runs into November Nine Luck
Ruben Visser decided to take a last-minute flight to Nice in order to play this event, but unfortunately it didn't work out. After we witnessed his bust out hand, he told us what happened earlier to get the full story.
Visser told us he raised from the button to 250 with 
and he got three-bet by the "Scandinavian looking guy" in the big blind. The raise to 750 didn't scare Visser, who had previously clashed with the same player. He four-bet to 1,650 and ended up getting it in against pocket nines. The window card was the nine of spades but the flop ended up bringing three spades for a nice sweat. No luck on the turn or river and Visser was left behind with very little chips.
In the last hand he played, it was Anton Makiievskyi who raised under the gun to 250. The action got folded to Visser who shoved for 1,075 from the button and Makiievskyi followed with the quick call. After the Ukrainian November Nine finalist showed the Visser started laughing, "Well, I like that card!" and showed his 
. Makiievskyi showed the other 
and told Visser the flop was gonna bring a third one. The board ran out 
and the players at the table seemed to be feeling a little bad for Visser who had a very unlucky and short day.

Husson raised to 250 in the cut-off and Lundmark made it 700 from the button. The big blind cold called and after asking to see both players stacks Husson made the call.
Flop: 
The action checked around to Lundmakr who bet 1,250 and it won the pot.
