Event #7: €1,650 NLH 6-max
Day 1 Started
The World Series of Poker Europe is in full swing at the stunning King’s Resort in Rozvadov, and excitement is building as Day 1 of Event #7: €1,650 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max is set to begin. With a massive guaranteed prize pool of €300,000, the stakes are high, and the atmosphere is buzzing as players gear up for what promises to be an intense day of poker action.
Last year, 495 players entered the event, and 120 advanced to Day Two, battling it out for the sought-after WSOP gold bracelet. Tobias Peters was the one who made it happen. Twelve years ago, he quit his job to go all-in on poker, and the Dutch pro finally snagged his first bracelet. After an exhausting final day that stretched nearly 17 hours, Peters remained sharp. He ultimately faced the legendary Barny Boatman in a tense heads-up showdown. When the dust settled, Peters claimed the bracelet along with a solid €143,100 payday, capping off a hard-fought journey.
Who will this year's lucky winners be? And will last year’s champion return to defend his title?

Jessica Teusl kicked off the action with a raise to 500, and Gerhard Brimmers, sitting in the big blind, made the call.
The flop came down 9♦6♠J♣, and Brimmers seized the initiative, leading out with a bet of 1,200, which Teusl quickly called.
On the J♥ turn, Brimmers fired again, this time for 2,200, and once again, Teusl opted to call.
The river brought the 6♥, potentially saving Teusl, but Brimmers kept the pressure on with a bet of 5,200. Teusl decided to call, only to see Brimmers flip over J♦10♥ for a full house.
In a later conversation, Teusl revealed she had been holding aces the whole time.
