The World Series of Poker will roll on once the November Nine has been determined, traveling to Cannes, France from October 7-15, 2011. Here is a look at the schedule of events:
A short-stacked Jody Howe shoved all in for his last 850,000 from UTG+1, and Samuel Holden was his lone caller from middle position. Howe showed and was hoping his pair would hold versus Holden's .
Howe's sixes remained best through the flop and turn, but the fell on the river, pairing Holden and sending Howe to the rail in 52nd place.
Ben Lamb opened to 135,000 from early position, Guillaume Darcourt three-bet to 285,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Lamb who immediately called. The flop came down , and Lamb checked to Darcourt who continued for 300,000. Lamb called.
The turn was the , and Lamb knuckled again. Darcourt tossed out 425,000, and Lamb called.
Lamb checked a third time after the paired the board on the river, and this time Darcourt decided to check behind. Lamb opened up two kings, but Darcourt rolled over for a pair of aces! The entire table was wide-eyed at the sight of the two players' hands, and Darcourt and Lamb shared a laugh while the Frenchman pulled in the pot.
Tri Huynh opened for 140,000 in the cutoff and Stefan Huber moved all in from the button for 1.13 million. Nelson Robinson, big blind, asked for Huynh's count -- around six million -- and called Huber's all in. Huynh folded and the hands were turned up.

The board ran and Huber tapped the table and wished all players at the table good luck.
Action folded to Andrey Pateychuk in middle position and he raised to 140,000. Andrew Brokos was in late position and responded with a three-bet to 340,000. The rest of the players got out of the way and action was back on Pateychuk, who simply moved all in. Brokos called off for 1.64 million and it was off to the races.
Showdown
Brokos:
Pateychuk:
Brokos, who has cashed in five out of the last six WSOP Main Events, was the one at risk and needed to catch. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't do so as the board ran out , While he was eliminated from the tournament in 53rd place, Brokos' impressive achievement cannot be overlooked.
It folded around to Andrew Brokos on the button who raised to 130,000, and he got one caller in Matt Giannetti in the big blind.
The flop came . Giannetti checked, Brokos bet 150,000, Giannetti check-raised to 430,000, and Brokos called. The turn was the and once again Giannetti checked. Brokos bet again, too, 400,000 this time, and Giannetti called.
The river brought the and checks from both. Giannetti tabled for jacks, and Brokos mucked.
Brokos slips to 1.665 million, while Giannetti moves back up to 5.33 million.
Lars Bonding opened for 130,000 from the hijack seat, and Kyle Johnson called from one seat over. It folded to Jerry Van Strydonck in the big blind who called as well.
The flop came . Van Strydonck checked, and Bonding continued for 185,000. Johnson got out, but Van Strydonck called. Both of the remaining players then checked the turn.
The river brought the and a check from Van Strydonck. Bonding fired 580,000, and Van Strydonck called. Bonding showed for top two pair, and Van Strydonck mucked.
Bonding has about 5 million now, while Van Strydonck slips to 2.8 million.
Ryan Lenaghan on Day 6 -- looks exactly the same today, but with more chips
Ryan Lenaghan opened the pot to 140,000 in early position, and Pius Heinz reraised to 380,000. Heinz hasn't been in many pots so far today through 17 hands, but it was no matter to Lenaghan. He four-bet to 915,000, and Heinz tanked and released.
Guillaume Darcourt has just sat down in Seat 4 at the secondary feature table. We spotted the Frenchman from a mile away, thanks to his flaming pink hair and racks upon racks of chips.
Nicolas Fierro opened to 125,000 from early position, and the action folded all the way to Scott Schwalich who three-bet to 350,000 from the big blind. Fierro four-bet to 750,000, Schwalich five-bet shoved for nearly 2.5 million, and Fierro snapped it off.
