Schon seit Wochen werden im Commerce Casino die LA Poker Classics 2020 gespielt. Gestern, den 29. Februar, startete das $10.000 Championship Event der World Poker Tour (WPT) und bereits 461 Entries konnten verzeichnet werden.
Letztes Jahr wurde der Final Table der LAPC erstmals in der HyperX esports Arena in Las 
Vegas austragen. David „ODB“ Baker hatte sich im 546 Entries starken Feld durchgesetzt und die Siegprämie von $1.000.000 kassiert.
Für dieses Jahr stehen die Vorzeichen gut, dass die Zahl annähernd gleich sein wird, denn an Tag 1 konnten bereits 461 Entries verzeichnet werden. Die Late Reg ist noch für zwei weitere Levels (Ende Level 10) geöffnet.
Viele Pros und Bekannte waren am Start, auch einige der deutschsprachigen Spieler. Viele mussten in den acht gespielten Levels aber auch mindestens einmal an die Rail, darunter der Titelverteidiger David „ODB“ Baker, Maria Ho, Andrew Lichtenberger, Andy Frankenberger, Darren Elias, Dan Shak, Shaun Deeb, Byron Kaverman und viele mehr.
Im starbesetzten Feld haben es aber doch noch viele auch in Tag 2 geschafft. Die deutschsprachige Ausbeute ist dabei aber recht mager, denn Fabian Gumz, Maxi Lehmanski, Robert Heidorn und Kilian Kramer sind ganz weit unten im Chipcount zu finden. Einzig Bastian Fischer behauptete sich gut und tütete 136.400 Chips ein, was aktuell Rang 24 bedeutet. Von den 461 Entries konnten sich 271 bereits für Tag 2 qualifizieren, aber es ist eben auch noch die Late Reg bis Ende Level 10 möglich.
Den Chiplead sicherte sich Demo Kiriopoulos vor Jordan Cristos, auch Dylan Linde ist einmal mehr in den Top 10. Bei den Blinds 500/1000 geht es mit 90 Minuten Levels in Tag 2 weiter.
