Welcome to the Main Event!
The 2012 World Series of Poker Europe continues with the event you’ve all been waiting for—Event #7 €10,450 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event. Today, the first of two starting flights will take place at the Majestic Barrière in Cannes, France as players from around the world will battle for one of poker’s most coveted titles.
Last year this event drew a field of 593 players including Tony G (24th), Erik Seidel (21st), Andy Moseley (13th) and Arnaud Mattern (10th). The final table was a star-studded affair that included Patrik Antonius (9th), Jake Cody (7th), Shawn Buchanan (6th), Brian Roberts (4th) and Moritz Kranich (3rd); however, it was New Yorker Elio Fox who defeated Chris Moorman in heads-up play to capture the bracelet and €1.4 million first-place prize.
Action is set to kick off at 12:00 CET, which is less than a half hour from now. Join us then as we bring you all the action and eliminations from the first day of the 2012 WSOP Europe Main Event.
