Fünf Starttage, verteilt über fünf Wochen waren beim $365 Pot-Limit Omaha GIANT absolviert worden, ehe die verbliebenen 185 Spieler gestern erstmals zusammengeführt wurden.
Mit von der Partie waren auch noch die drei Deutschen Alfredo Vega, Arne Kern und Dominik Nitsche, doch leider sollte es nicht ihr Tag werden.
Am besten schnitt noch Dominik Nitsche als 111. ab, doch sind $1.295 Preisgeld für einen Highroller wie ihn natürlich keine Offenbarung.
Deutlich besser lief es dagegen für Michael Mizrachi. Der Grinder hat erst vor wenigen Wochen seinen dritten Titel bei der Poker Players Championship geholt und zeigte nun, dass er sich in Massenturnieren nicht minder wohlfühlt.
Unter den 3.250 Startern sicherte er sich einen Platz am Finaltisch, nachdem er das Feld längere Zeit angeführt hatte.
Aktueller Chipleader ist Srinivas Balasubramanian, alle Spieler haben schon einmal gut $10.000 sicher.
