Gestern Freitag, den 29. März, starteten im Burlington Hotel in Dublin die Irish Poker Open 2013. Das Buy-In wurde auf € 2.000 + 250 gesenkt, aber mit 505 Startern geht es um mehr als € 1.000.000 an Preisgeld. 276 Spieler schafften es in Tag 2, Thomas Beer ist neuerlich bester Deutscher im Feld.
Mit dem kleineren Buy-In nahm man in Kauf, dass weniger prominente Spieler nach Dublin kommen würden. Dennoch hatte das Feld einige bekannte Spieler zu bieten. Unter anderem waren Dave Ulliott, Titelverteidiger Kevin Vandersmissen, Kevin MacPhee, Roberto Romanello, Surinder Sunar, Ross und Barny Boatman, Dermot Blaine, Steve O’Dwyer, Eoghan O’Dea, Neil Channing, Simon Trumper, Ian Frazer, Marty Smith, Andy Black und einige mehr mit von der Partie.
Auch einige deutsche Spieler hatten wieder den Weg nach Dublin gefunden. Thomas Beer, letztes Jahr Runner-Up, war ebenso angetreten wie BobbiG, Alexander Zaja, Hauke Heseding, Philip Schlums, Thomas Panek (A) und noch einige mehr.
Der erste Tag hatte neun Levels und in dieser Zeit wurde das Feld nahezu halbiert. Unter anderem mussten bereits Roberto Romanello, Neil Channing, Marty Smith, Thomas Panek, Philip Schlums, oder auch Julian Thew an die Rails. Kevin Vandersmissen schaffte es heil durch den Tag, allerdings muss er an Tag 2 das Feld von hinten aufräumen, ums einen Titel zu verteidigen.
Aktueller Chipleader nach Tag 1 ist Darren Nolan, Thomas Beer liegt auf Rang 10 und ist damit erneut bester Deutscher im Feld. Der Preispool von € 1.010.000 wird auf die ersten 54 Plätze aufgeteilt und damit ist es heute auch das Ziel die Geldränge zu erreichen. 276 Spieler sind noch dabei, wenn es um 13 Uhr in Irland weiter geht. Es gibt einen Live-Stream, den wir Euch heute ebenfalls zeigen werden.
