Auch der zweite Flight beim $5.000 Championship Event der World Poker Tour (WPT) im Venetian Las Vegas war wieder stark besucht und mit insgesamt 937 Entries liegen $4.333.625 im Pot.
378 Entries waren es schon am ersten Starttag. Diese Zahl wurd an Tag 1B noch einmal deutlich übertroffen und gleich 559 Entries wurden an den Tischen verzeichnet. Die $1.500.000 Preisgeldgarantie war schon an Tag 1A geknackt worden, insgesamt sorgen die 937 Entries für fast drei Mal so viel im Pot, nämlich $4.333.625. Die Top 118 Plätze sind bezahlt, wobei der Min-Cash $8.365 beträgt, auf den Sieger warten $752.880. In der Siegprämie ist normalerweise das $15.000 TOC Ticket inkludiert. Das Tournament of Champions wird aber dieses Jahr nicht stattfinden und so gibt es die $15.000 als Cash.
Wie schon am ersten Starttag gab es viele prominente und bekannte Gesichter an den Tischen, unter anderem traf man Dylan Wilkerson, Chino Rheem, Jeremy Ausmus, Landon Tice, Matt Stout, Cary Katz, Aaron van Blarcum, Erik Cajelais, JC Tran und viele mehr. Nicht alle schafften es durch den Tag, 135 beendeten Tag 1B erfolgreich. Den Tagessieg holte sich dabei Danny Wong mit 520.000 Chips, der damit knapp hinter Dustin Dirksen mit 566.000 Chips in Tag 2 geht. Roland Rokita, Stefan Nemetz und Mario Mosböck hatten sich schon an Tag 1A qualifiziert und sind ebenfalls an Tag 2 mit dabei, Florian Gaugusch schaffte es mit 151.000 Chips durch Tag 1B.
Insgesamt sind es 224 Spieler in Tag 2, das erste Ziel sind die 118 bezahlten Plätze. Infos und Details sowie die Live-Coverage findet Ihr unter wpt.com und venetian.com.
