Bei WSOP Event #54 kommen die Freunde der leider immer seltener gespielten Variante Razz auf ihre Kosten, und immerhin 363 Spieler ließen sich diesen Spaß für $1.500 nicht entgehen.
Deutschsprachige Spieler waren nach Lage der Dinge nicht am Start, aber dafür so bekannte Namen wie Phil Hellmuth, Chris Ferguson oder Frank Kassela.
Überragender Mann des ersten Tages war Eric Rodawig, der bereits 2011 auf damals dramatische Weise ein Bracelet bei Seven Card Stud gewinnen konnte. Nach 7-zu-1-Rückstand rang er damals noch Phil Hellmuth nieder.
Gut $490.000 gibt es bei diesem Turnier an Preisgeldern zu gewinnen, der Sieger staubt übermorgen gut $119.000 ab.
127 Spieler dürfen sich noch entsprechende Hoffnungen machen, bezahlt werden 55 Akteure.
