Ein immer wiederkehrendes Highlight der World Series of Poker ist sicherlich das Seniors Event. Auch in diesem Jahr kamen wieder zahlreiche ältere Spieler an die Tische. Mit Sam Farha befindet sich ein bekanntes Gesicht in den Top 5 Chipcounts.
Es ist bereits das dritte Seniors Event in Folge, das mehr als 4.000 Spieler an die Tische ins Rio Casino lockt. Im Vorjahr nahmen 4.406 Senioren am Turnier teil, in diesem Jahr wurde der Rekord ausgebaut. 4.425 Spieler folgten dem Ruf des Seniors Event. Doch die meisten von ihnen sind bereits aus dem Turnier ausgeschieden. Zur Dinnerbreak nach sechs gespielten Level waren bereits mehr als 2.800 Spieler an der Rail. Am Ende des Tages tüteten 486 Spieler ihre Chips ein.
Morgen startet dann direkt der Kampf an der Bubble, denn 468 Spieler bekommen ein Stück des Preisgeldkuchens ab. Michel Abecassis, Marcel Luske, Pierre Neuville, European Poker Tour Gründer John Duthie, James Woods, Cyndy Violette und unser WSOP Bracelet Champion aus dem Jahr 2009 Jörg Peisert sind nicht mehr dabei. Besser machten es hier unter anderem Dennis Phillips, Simon Trumper, Barney Boatman und Mick McCloskey. Aus deutschsprachiger Sicht ist einzig Bracelet Gewinner Nikolaus Teichert dabei. Er zählt allerdings mit 9.300 Chips zu den Shortstacks. Er braucht somit noch den ein oder anderen Verdoppler, um sein zweites Bracelet und $627.462 zu gewinnen.
