Genau 898 Spieler kauften sich an den beiden Starttagen für das Seminole Rock ‘n Roll Poker Open in Hollywood, Florida ein und sorgten so bei einem Buy-In von $3.500 für ein üppiges Preisgeld von fast $2,9 Millionen.
Mit von der Partie waren viele bekannte amerikanische Spieler wie Harrison Gimbel, Phil Laak, Brian Hastings, Joe McKeehen oder Anthony Zinno, aber auch eine kleinere Abordnung deutschsprachiger Spieler mischte mit.
Am besten schlug sich dabei Marius Gierse, der mit 209.500 Chips zu den Big Stacks von Tag 1B gehörte.
Ebenfalls weiter sind Oliver Weis und Heinz Schlüter, aber mit 90.000 bzw. 32.500 Chips müssen sie sich schon gewaltig strecken, wenn sie noch etwas mit den bezahlten Plätzen zu tun haben wollen.
Mazen Abdallah ist nach den beiden Starttagen Chipleader, er tütete 469.500 Chips ein.
113 Spieler landen im Geld, und der Sieger bekommt mehr als eine halbe Million, doch zunächst geht es für die 333 verbliebenen Spieler darum, Tag 2 zu überstehen.
