The largest tournament in the history of the World Series of Poker Europe is in the books, and Australian Andrew Hinrichsen is the Event #2 champion. Hinrichsen finished on top of a massive 771 player field to pocket €148,030 and a WSOP bracelet.
Hinrichsen began the final table 2nd in chips behind Gianluca Speranza. Although Speranza couldn't turn his chip lead into a bracelet, he did finish in 2nd place for €91,262.
Roberto Romanello entered the table in 3rd place with high hopes to complete his triple crown, but he'll have to wait for another tournament to do that. Hopefully the €37,874 he won for coming in 5th will help him get over the disappointment.
Hinrichsen came very close to reaching the final table of the Main Event at this summer's WSOP, finishing 23rd for $302,005. It has been barely 3 months since then, and he's already secured his first bracelet. The odds seem good that we'll see more of him in the future.
Event #3 & Event #4
Event #3, a €5,300 buy-in PLO tournament, has reached the final table. Sam Trickett leads the field with 713,500 chips. Trickett is considered one of the world's best players, and he'll look to win his first WSOP title.
Steve Billirakis is in 2nd place with 459,500 chips. Billirakis is an American poker pro who already owns a WSOP bracelet. He has over $2 million in career tournament earnings.
November 9 member Eoghan O'Dea will enter the final table in 8th place with 115,000 chips, and Canadian poker pro Sam Chartier sits in 9th with 109,500.
The final table will play out today at 3:00pm CET, and the WSOP website will be providing a live stream of the action.
Event #4 is a €3,200 NLHE shootout. 256 players entered, and 30 of them will return for Day 2 today. Rather than 3 10-handed tables, the format will be 10 3-handed tables. Find the complete list of players who reached the final 30 in the chart below, as well as their table assignments.
