Wer denkt, dass sich aktuell die gesamte Pokerelite in Barcelona versammelt hat, liegt nur teilweise richtig.
Zwar sind auch viele amerikanische Spitzenspieler in die katalanische Metropole gereist, doch etliche sind auch zu Hause geblieben und meldeten sich zum WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown an.
Für ein Buy-In von $3.500 geht es um eine Preisgeldgarantie von $3 Millionen, doch die pulverisierten die insgesamt 1.309 Spieler von Tag 1A und 1B ziemlich locker und sorgten für ein Preisgeld von fast $4,2 Millionen.
Viele bekannte Spieler wie die beiden Weltmeister Joe McKeehen oder Scott Blumstein, das Ehepaar Mercier oder Joseph Cheong tummeln sich im Feld, das sich mit 480 verbliebenen Spielern erst noch ein wenig sortieren muss.
Am Ende landen 164 Spieler im Preisgeld und der Sieger erhält knapp $700.000, doch bis dahin stehen noch einige harte Turniertage auf dem Programm.
Chipleader ist momentan Eric Afriat mit 222.500, deutschsprachige Spieler sind offenbar nicht dabei.
