Bei der WSOP 2016 in Las Vegas geht es Schlag auf Schlag. Mit dem $1.000 Pot Limit Omaha Event und dem $10.000 Seven Card Razz Championship Turnier starteten gestern Abend zwei weitere Turniere im Rio Hotel & Casino. Unermüdlich zu sein, scheint dieser Tage Ismael Bojang, der fast bei allen Turnieren der WSOP in den Chipcounts zu finden ist. Dabei cashte der Wahlösterreicher in diesem WSOP Jahr schon bei mehreren Events. Der ganz große Wurf jedoch, blieb ihm bisher verwehrt. Nach seinem Ausscheiden im Millionaire Maker ging es für den deutschen Allrounder gestern sofort beim $1k Pot Limit Omaha weiter, wo sich Bojang nach Tag 1 als bester Deutscher auf Rang 14 wiederfindet. Ebenfalls gut gestartet in das Turnier ist Andreas Freund, der auf Position 20 in den Chipcounts rangiert. Auch noch mit dabei unter den 136 verbliebenen Spielern aus Tag 1 sind Konstantin Bücherl, Stephan Sieber, Björn Geissert, Sebastian Dornbracht und George Danzer.
Jede Menge Stars der internationalen Pokerszene gingen beim $10.000 Seven Card Razz Championship Event an den Start. Nach Tag 1 erspielte sich Altmeister David Benyamine die Führung und liegt bei noch 45 von 100 an den Start gegangenen Spielern vor Vorjahressieger Phil Hellmuth, der genau dieses Event im letzten Jahr für sich entscheiden konnte. Erneut unter all den Superstars zu finden war der Fussballprofi vom VFL Wolfsburg Max Kruse. Nach seiner Top-Platzierung im kleinen $1.500 Razz Turnier, wo Kruse am Ende Platz 11 belegte, zeigte der Hobbyspieler auch an Tag 1 des Championship Events einen starke Leistung. Zurzeit verweilt der Kicker auf Platz 32 in den Chipcounts, womit er momentan der beste deutsche Spieler ist. Nur wenige Plätze hinter dem Fussballer liegt Sebastian Pauli auf Rang 36, sowie der letzte deutsche Akteur im Feld George Danzer, der zurzeit Position 39 einnimmt.
