Das $10.400 Championship Event der World Poker Tour (WPT) Five Diamond World Poker Classics im Bellagio ist eröffnet, Ethan „Rampage“ Yau schnappte sich den Chiplead nach Tag 1.
Nicht allzu groß war das Feld gestern zum Auftakt des $10k Main Events, 450 Entries wurden im Laufe der ersten acht Levels verbucht. Viele Prominente wie Daniel Negreanu, Kitty Kuo, Matt Berkey, natürlich auch Andrew Neeme und Brad Owen, aber auch Alex und Kristen Foxen sowie viele WPT Titelgewinner waren mit dabei.
250 Spieler blieben am Ende übrig, wobei sich Vlogger Ethan „Rampage“ Yau mit 293.000 Chips knapp die Führung vor Mike Vanier sichern konnte. Ebenfalls am Start war Giuseppe Pantaleo, der mit 46.500 Chips aber nur auf Rang 193 liegt.
Für zwei Levels ist die Late Reg heute noch offen und sicherlich werden auch noch einige die Gelegenheit nutzen, um ins Turnier einzusteigen. An die Rekordzahlen vor Corona mit mehr als 1.000 Entries wird man aber bei weitem nicht herankommen.
Alle Infos rund um das Event und natürlich auch den Liveblog findet Ihr unter wpt.com.
