Fast hätte er es wieder ins Finale bei einem Massenevent geschafft. Dominik Nitsche schrammte beim $1.000 No Limit Hold’em Event # 18 der World Series of Poker (WSOP) am Finale vorbei und belegte Platz 16. Taylor Paur führt die verbliebenen 14 Spieler in den Finaltag.
Schon an Tag 1 war das Feld stark dezimiert worden und die 216 Geldränge waren längst erreicht. Nur 163 Spieler hatten es in Tag 2 geschafft. Neben Dominik Nitsche waren da noch Timo Eckert, Michael Müller, Jan Weinerth, Daniel Brickwill und der Schweizer Max Reif.
Auch am zweiten Tag blieb das Tempo hoch und die Reihen lichteten sich sehr schnell. So wurden auch die deutschsprachigen Spieler immer weniger und nach dem Ausscheiden von Daniel Brickwill, der bei seiner WSOP Premiere gleich auf Rang 55 landete (heute auch im SOSA Interview), ruhten alle Hoffnungen auf Dominik Nitsche.
Bei den letzten drei Tischen angelangt war Dominik noch dabei, allerdings schon unter den Shortstacks zu finden. Seine Lage konnte er nicht mehr verbessern und als die letzten 18 Spieler ihre Plätze einnahmen, war er noch weiter zurückgefallen. Short pushte er schließlich mit 
und traf dabei auf Nick Colbrese mit 
. Das Board 
und Dominik musste sich mit Rang 16 für $12.413 begnügen.
Mit 14 verbliebenen Spielern ging der Tag zu Ende. Taylor Paur hat einen massiven Vorsprung, wenn es ins Finale geht. Prominentester Spieler ist Phil Ivey, der auf Rang 9 liegt. Von den 14 Spielern sind 13 US-Amerikaner, nur der Kanadier Daniel Idema könnte ein amerikanisches Bracelet verhindern.
