Pros Rise and Fall at WSOPE
The second annual World Series of Poker Europe is running its main event now in London, and many pros from around the world are competing for the cash and glory won last year by young pro Annette Obrestad. With big guns like Phil Hellmuth, Joe Hachem, Howard Lederer, David Benyamine and Mike Matusow in the filed, it was inevitable that some would fall and some would make their way to the end of the day. By the end of the day the chip leaders included some of those names, like Matusow, and a few more like Andy Bloch and Scott Fischman.
