The 2010 World Series of Poker Europe is well underway - with the Main Event down to 60-some players - there are two big names that have picked up bracelets in the three completed prelim events ... and one who's been involved in a two-day heads up battle!
Popular player Phil Laak captured his first bracelet in the opening event of the tournament. The Unabomber was the winner in the 244-player Six-Handed NLH event.
2009 WSOP Player of the Year Jeffrey Lisandro earned his fifth bracelet by winning Event 2 - Pot-Limit Omaha.
The UK's Scott Shelley won Event 3 - NLH ... amazingly, this is the first live result ever posted by Shelley.
In other news, Gus Hansen is back on the map - he's involved in a bitter battle in the High Stakes Heads Up event ... tied at one round a piece. The final best-of-three matchup was pushed to Sunday - as the first two games lasted over 12 hours.
On the Main Event side of things, big names like Ivey, Negreanu, Blohm, Levi, Timoshenko, Baker (not Bakes), Greenstein, Mueller, Schulman, Corkins, de Wolfe and Deeb are still alive.
