Die WPT World Championship im Wynn Las Vegas ging am Donnerstag in Tag 1C. Dabei wurden in dem World Poker Tour Main Event die Starter*innenzahlen von Tag 1A (609 Total Entries) und Tag 1B (730 Total Entries) am gestrigen Tag 1C mit 973 Total Entries noch deutlich übertroffen. Die prestigeträchtigen Turnierkonkurrenz in Tschechien und auf den Bahamas tut der Pokerbegeisterung in Las Vegas keinen Abbruch. 360 Spieler*innen überlebten den dritten von vier Starttagen und ganz vorn dabei ist auch ein weltbekannter Spieler aus der D-A-CH-Community.
Ganze 973-mal wurde das Startgeld von $10.400 allein an Tag 1C gezahlt. Der durchaus ambitioniert eingestufte garantierte Preispool von $40.000 könnte am heutigen Starttag 1D noch gut geknackt werden. Auf der Jagd nach großen Preissprüngen und Payouts ist auf jeden Fall die internationale Pokerelite im Wynn zusammengekommen.
Dazu gehören auch Bryn Kenney, David Williams, Chance Kornuth, Alex Foxen, Nenad Medic, John Juanda, Jason Koon, Freddy Deeb, Mike Matusow, Chris Moorman, Phil Laak, Joe Hachem, Ian Matakis, Galle Baumann, Kitty Kuo und Mario Ho.
Auch Garrett Adelstein ist extra für die WPT Weltmeisterschaft wieder aus der Versenkung aufgetaucht. Das sind nur einige der Poker SuperStars, die nicht nur am Start waren, sondern am Ende des Spieltages auch Chips für Day 2 eintüten konnten. – Einige D-A-CH-Spieler haben Tag 2 bislang verfehlt, wozu auch der gebustete Igor Kurganov am Donnerstag gehörte.
In Tag 2 schafften es folgende deutschsprachigen Spieler, die einer der bekanntesten Spieler weltweit anführt:
