Mit insgesamt 612 Teilnehmern an den beiden ersten Starttagen ist das $3.500 Main Event der WPT at Venetian gut besucht und die Preisgeldgarantie von $1 Million wurde locker geknackt.
Viele renommierte Turnierspieler wie Chance Kornuth, Byron Kaverman, Anthony Zinno, Scott Blumstein oder Eli Elezra gaben sich im Venetian die Ehre, in Führung liegt Ravi Raghavan, der 2012 die WPT Five Diamond Classic gewinnen konnte.
Ebenfalls gut platziert sind Joseph Cheong und Matt Waxman, während Matt Stout und Scotty Nguyen bereits ausgeschieden sind.
Wie üblich bei der WPT ist die Late Reg am zweiten Turniertag noch möglich, daher wird die Preisgeldverteilung erst heute Nacht feststehen.
