Die einst so beliebte Variante Limit Hold’em steht bei der WSOP 2019 nur noch zweimal auf dem Programm: bei der $10.000 Championship, die am Dienstag beginnt, und bei Event #66, der vergangene Nacht angepfiffen wurde.
Immerhin 541 Spieler bezahlten das Buy-in von $1.500, und mit von der Partie waren auch einige deutschsprachige Spieler.
Vier von ihnen kamen weiter, allerdings müssen Frank Rau, Daniel Melten, Thomer Pidun und Bernd Rygol kommende Nacht Boden gutmachen, um von den Plätzen 92, 94, 107 und 127 noch die 82 bezahlten Ränge zu erreichen.
Gut $161.000 warten auf den Sieger, und mit Shirley Rosario hat derzeit eine Dame als Chipleaderin des ersten Turniertags die besten Aussichten auf den Platz an der Sonne.
Ebenfalls noch mit dabei sind Daniel Negreanu, der weiterhin auf sein siebtes Karriere-Bracelet wartet, der Brite Benny Glaser, Joe McKeehen oder Andre Akkari.
