Action is on for the World Series of Poker Europe being played at the Spielbank Casino in Berlín with Event #1 NL Hold’em 6-Max €2,200, where the local representation got many of their own on the top ten tournament ranking where the lead went to the man from Britain,  Oliver Price , who closed the day with 171,100 points.

Only 35 out the 197 players who started out the day would manage to go forward; however, the fight to be on the top 21 spots to cashout is to ignite some sparks. Out of those, nine are teutons. And, besides that, four of those are in the top ten, so German aspirations are running pretty high.
