Mit 123 Spielern, darunter fünf deutschsprachigen Akteuren, ging es in Tag 2 von WSOP Event #72, einem $1.500 Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold’em-Turnier.
Da erst ab Platz 107 Preisgeld bezahlt wurde, ging es zunächst darum, die Bubble zu überstehen. Das gelang unseren Spielern, doch danach war für Tim Kleemann (99./$2.240), Rainer Kempe (96./$2.296), Anton Morgenstern (94./$2.296), Christian Rudolph (87./$2.296) und Enrico Rudelitz (79./$2.401) leider auch schon recht zügig Schluss.
Ebenfalls nicht durch den Tag kamen so bekannte Spieler wie Brian Hastings, Jon Turner und Daniel Negreanu, der mit AK in Asse rannte.
Am Ende von Tag 2 blieben fünfzehn Spieler übrig, die vom überlegenen Chipleader Ryan Leng angeführt werden.
Der Sieger erhält knapp $198.000, alle Finalisten haben $6.899 sicher.
