World Series of Poker Europe Final Table Set
It’s been a bloody dramatic week at The Empire, with rollercoaster chip stacks and the cream of the poker crop doing battle across the felt. Now, the 334 entrants have been bluffed, rivered and coolered down to just nine remaining men.

Just 18 Players Left at WSOPE
After Teddy Sheringham continued his rush to knock out Steve Zolotow in 31st place, a wave of eliminations have swept the Empire. Tommy Pavlicek got it in with A4 vs a dominated AJ to hit the rail with £21,142.
Ready, Teddy, Sheringham! Former England Star on a Roll at the WSOPE
The list of animalistically-named poker players at the Betfair World Series of Poker 2009 Main Event is growing thin, largely thanks to ex-Manchester United and England striker Teddy Sheringham.
Matt Hawrilenko leads WSOPE Main Event field at end of Day 3
Just 36 players remained at the end of Day 3 of the World Series Of Poker Europe with American pro Matt “Hoss-TBF” Hawrilenko heading the field. Hawrilenko, who won a bracelet in the $5,000 Six handed No Limit Hold’em event earlier this year, has a stack of 701,500, over 50,000 ahead of nearest rival Steven Fung.
The bubble bursts
Losing an all-in with aces is a nasty experience but losing with aces after three long days only to finish one off the money is in a whole new ball-park of ugly.

Akenhead and Devilfish clash
On a feature table that boasts some impressive names including Eric Liu, Ram Vaswani and Chris Bjorin - the Devilfish and James Akenhead face-off in a pot that...errr...doesn't end too well for our boy James.
We have a new chip leader…
I just witnessed the biggest pot of the tournament so far and, unfortunately for EPT runner-up and Bluff’s October cover man Marc Goodwin, it was at his expense.
Gooooo Devilfish
It was like the Second World War all over again - only this time, picture David Ulliott leading the country. Tobias Reinkemeier, who made himself rather unpopular after pulling a sly move against Roland de Wolfe in EPT Barcelona, has busted out to the Devilfish in a rather big pot.

Here is a list of people I am gunning for today:
Ian Munns leads WSOPE at the end of Day 2
A truncated day at the Empire Casino saw the field drop below the hundred mark and Briton Ian Munns build himself a healthy lead at the head of the field. He closed the day with a massize stack of 528,300, over 200,000 ahead of his nearest rival, The Hit Squad’s Praz Bansi, who bagged up 299,000.
