Während in Mitteleuropa noch die Vorsicht wegen des Coronavirus regiert, finden in den USA bereits wieder Poker-Massenevents statt.
Beim WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open gab es mit 1.928 Entrys eine neue Rekordbeteiligung und gestern ging es dann für die Spieler, die sich für Tag 2 qualifiziert hatten, zunächst darum, die Bubble zu überstehen.
250 bezahlte Plätze gab es für die 593 Pokercracks von Tag 2, sodass noch einige leer ausgingen.
Am Ende eines harten Turniertags blieben schließlich 87 Spieler übrig, nachdem so bekannte Namen wie Erik Seidel, Brock Wilson oder Landon Tice zwar den Sprung ins Geld, aber nicht in Tag 3 geschafft hatten.
Dem Sieger winken bei diesem Turnier gut $975.000, alle Spieler von Tag 3 haben schon einmal gut $10.000 sicher.
In Führung liegt der amtierende WPT Player of the Year Jacob Ferro, der gestern 2.235.000 Chips sammeln konnte und sich knapp vor der besten Dame Cherish Andrews die Chiplead sicherte.
