Aus europäischer Sicht kann man es kaum glauben, aber derzeit findet im Seminole Hard Rock Hotel und Casino ein riesiges Live-Pokerturnier statt.
Beim $3.200 Main Event der WPT Lucky Hearts gingen enorme 1.573 Entrys an den Start – das ist die drittgrößte Beteiligung bei einem WPT Main Event überhaupt!
Der Hunger nach Live-Poker scheint also groß, und dafür nahmen die Spieler auch entsprechende Sicherheitsmaßnahmen in Kauf.
Viele bekannte amerikanische Spieler wie Darren Elias oder Ronnie Bardah waren dabei, nach Tag 2 führt nun Richard Pyne das Feld der verbliebenen 69 Spieler an.
Allein der Sieger erhält über $809.000 Preisgeld, die ersten acht Spieler erhalten sechsstellige Beträge.
