The schedule for the 2012 World Series of Poker has yet to be announced but already one important detail about the Main Event has been leaked to the media.
“A few hints on WSOP schedule coming tomorrow…you won’t find the November Nine returning.”
This was the tweet sent out by @WSOP, the official source for World Series of Poker updates and news.
World Series of Poker
Jonathan Duhamel, a 23-year-old from Boucherville, Quebec , overpowered his opponent from Florida, John Racener, in Heads-Up play that lasted 43 hands to win the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event, the WSOP gold bracelet and $8,944,310 in cash.
The tournament, which started back on July 5 with 7,319 players, came to its stunning conclusion when Duhamel’s unsuited Ace-Jack held up against Racener’s K-8 in Diamonds.
Heads Up in Las Vegas
7,319 players started their game play on July 5 in the 2010 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event. Only nine players returned on November 6 for the Final Table. And then they played until two players remained.
The winner of the $8.94 Million first prize and the prestigious bracelet will either be Canadian Jonathan Duhamel or American John Racener. Duhamel holds a massive chip lead.
As November approaches, all eyes in the poker world turn to Las Vegas where the year’s most important poker tournament will come to a stunning conclusion.
The November Nine will resume play at the Rio All Suites Hotel to determine who will be the $10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold’em World Champion.
EPT London
The recently completed Main Event of the European Poker Tour London 2010, with 848 players, was the largest poker tournament ever held in the United Kingdom. The EPT tournament came right in the wake of the equally successful World Series of Poker Europe.
Michael Maitre enjoys the action
At the end of Day 5, there are three Titan Poker players left in the Vegas action.
These players have already secured themselves a place in the money.
Damien Luis still holds a prime position at 35th with a massive 1,736,000 chips.
Joel Benzinou of Team Titan is placed 145th with a modest 629,000 chips.
Last but not least we have Michael Maitre in 153rd place with 574,000 chips.
Good luck gentlemen!
Ciorteanu Virgil Marius Day 4
Just like that, the 41st Annual World Series of Poker is left with 747 very happy people at the end of Day 4. Most of the remaining players are sure to be pleased to have made it this far. Among those still in the money are Pro Titan Team member Joel Benzinou who is still alive with 50K.
With a total prize pool in excess of $100 million for the sixth consecutive year, it’s no wonder big things are happening at the World Series of Poker:
Among those no longer in contention are Ciorteanu Virgil Marius, “cidul”, the 3rd place finisher in the 2010 World Challenge Romania, who busted out in 614th place. Ciorteanu was able to stay around long enough to walk away with $21,327.
Some of Titan Poker’s other package winners still in the game include Jack Ellwood of the United Kingdom, and French players Damien Luis and Michael Maitre.
