Get Ready for Short-Handed Action! The €1,650 6-Max is Ready to Begin
The World Series of Poker Europe is in full swing at the beautiful King’s Resort in Rozvadov as Day 1 of Event #7: €1,650 No-Limit Hold’em 6-max is about to begin and is guaranteed for a mammoth €300,000.
It is unlikely that last year’s champion and professional soccer star Max Kruse will be defending his crown. An injury last season allowed the former German international to play in the 2022 WSOPE, but he is currently fit and playing for Paderborn in the Second Bundesliga.
Kruse, who once left his poker winnings in a taxi, navigated a star-studded final table that consisted of Nacho Barbero, Farid Jattin, Orhan Sen, and Leonid Yanovski. The German striker sealed the deal by beating Dorian Melchers to claim his first WSOP gold bracelet and the top prize of €134,152.
