Dieses Mal waren es 2.713 Spieler, die sich beim $1.500 No Limit Hold’em eingekauft hatten. Nur rund 390 davon blieben am Ende von Tag 1 übrig, Alex Bolotin hat die Führung. Aber gleich dahinter liegt Sebastian Winkler, der sich damit eine ausgezeichnete Ausgangsposition für Tag 2 geschaffen hat.
Unter anderem waren da wieder die beiden PartyPoker Pros Dragan Galic und Bodo Sbrzesny, die Donkr Julian Herold, Heinz Kamutzki, Khiem Nguyen und Matthias Kurtz, außerdem auch Manig Löser, Titan Pro Marvin Rettenmaier, Gregor Derkowski, Marko Neumann, Philipp Gruissem, Mohsen Tayfeh, Jürgen Wenigwieser und einige andere mehr am Start. Trotz guter Alternativen konnte sich auch das internationale Feld sehen lassen. So waren auch Chino Rheem, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Max Lykov, Ivan Demidov, Jeff Madsen, Tom McEvoy, Liv Boeree, Leo Margets, Luigi Kwaysser, Isaac Haxton, Nick Binger, Maria Ho, natürlich Tom Dwan, Nenad Medic und einige andere mehr am Start.
Das große Aufräumen blieb natürlich auch bei diesem Event nicht aus. So mussten auch schon viele Deutsche, darunter auch Marvin Rettenmaier. Auch bei den Pros wurden Phil Hellmuth, Liv Boeree, Maria Ho, Ivan Demidov, David Williams, Gavin Smith, Joe Sebok, Vitaly Lunkin, Adam Junglen, Tom Dwan, Prahlad Friedman und Chris Bjorin schon ausgemustert.
An Tag 2 ist das erste Ziel wie immer das Erreichen der Geldränge. Insgesamt werden 270 Plätze bezahlt. Wer es ins Geld schafft, bekommt zumindest $2.966. Aber wie immer muss man schon weit nach vorne kommen, um viel zu gewinnen. Der Sieger geht auf jeden Fall mit satten $650.223 nach Hause.
Alex Bolotin hat an Tag 1 die meisten Chips gesammelt, dahinter liegt Sebastian Winkler als bester Deutscher. Er hat bislang einen WSOP Cash, aber als PartyPoker Qualifikant auch schon WPT Luft geschnuppert. Wie es sonst aussieht, zeigt später der Chipcount.
