Die Entscheidung im $25.000 Super Main Event bei der World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise im Atlantis Bahamas Resort & Casino rückt näher. In dem Event mit 1.978 Starter*innen wurden an Tag 3 aus den verbleibenden 297 nur noch 36 gemacht. Dabei sollte auch das gesicherte Payout von $50.000 auf $140.900 steigen. Ein Auge haben natürlich alle noch im Super Main Event befindlichen Spieler*innen auf die Siegprämie geworfen, die ganze $6 Millionen aus dem $50 Millionen Preispool betragen wird. Berechtigte Hoffnungen können sich auch noch 7 deutschsprachige Spieler darauf machen.
WSOPP Event #9: $26.000 Super Main Event
Von ursprünglich 1.978 Starter*innen waren am Dienstag nach dem Platzen der Bubble noch 297 an die Tische im Atlantis auf Paradise Island zurückgekehrt. Das waren 207 Überlebende vom Vortag, sowie 90 Online-Qualifikanten. Zuerst konnten sich die Teilnehmer*innen an Tag 1 über ein Overlay von $550.000 freuen, dann an Tag 2 über das erreichen der ITM-Ränge samt Mincahs von $50.000 und am gestrigen Tag 3 über den Deep Run, falls man nach 26 gespielten Leveln noch Chips eintüten konnte.
Das gelang den meisten Spieler*innen nicht. Zu den prominenten Opfern gehörten z.B. Ana Marquez (41.), Nick Petrangelo (48.), Örpen Kiscaikoglu (52.), Pablo Brito Silva (82.), Chris Hunichen (84.), Stephen Chidwick (86.), Nick Schulman (92.), Alex Keating (94.), Adrian Mateos (103.), Alex Theologis (124.), Kayhan Mokri (125.), Antoine Saout (129.), Alex Foxen (135.), Jans Arends (140.), Erikm Seidel (161.), Justin Saliba (163.), Daniel Negreanu (170.), John Juanda (171.), Alexandra Botez (187.), Nacho Barbero (204.), Kristen Foxen (210.), Johannnes Straver (237.), Santhosh Suvarna (240.), Rania Nasreddine (245.), Aleksejs Ponakovs (287.) oder Artur Martirosian (288.).
Bei hohen Buy-Ins ist die deutschsprachige Pokercommunity immer gewohnt stark vertreten. Auf den Bahamas schafften es etliche Starter*innen aus der D-A-CH-Region in-the-money. An Tag 2 war für folgende heimische Spieler*innen jedoch das Super Main Event beendet: Jakob Miegel (GER, 47., $140.900), Manuel Fischer (GER, 49., $110.200), Christian Rudolph (GER, 70., $110.200), Yannick Schneider (GER, 75., $110.200), Ole Schemion (GER, 79., $86.100), Florian Gaugusch (AUT, 113., $86.100), Jan-Peter Jachtmann (GER, 115., $86.100), David Kaufmann (GER, 119., $67.300), Asko Muratovic (AUT, 123., $67.300), Hannes Jeschka (AUT, 132., $67.300), Adrian Strobel (GER, 142., $67.300), Samuel Klocker (AUT, 146., $67.300), Ilija Savevski (AUT, 149., $67.300), Marcel Kessler (GER; 152., $67.300), Yannick Schumacher (GER, 156., $67.300), Max Neugebauer (AUT, 160., $67.300), Artur Kraus (GER; 164., $67.300), Matthias Lipp (AUT, 194., $50.000), Mario Mosböck (AUT, 196., $50.000), Manuel Braunhofer (AUT, 201., $50.000), Marius Gierse (AUT, 206., $50.000), Anuschka van Lent (GER, 220., $50.000), Tom Fuchs (GER, 227., $50.000), Leon Sturm (GER, 232., $50.000), Tobias Schwecht (AUT, 241., $50.000), Samuel Mullur (AUT, 268., $50.000), Erik van Buxhöveden (GER, 269., $50.000), Thomas Mühlöcker (AUT, 272., $50.000), Christopher Pütz (GER, 278., $50.000), Leonard Maue (GER, 280., $50.000).
Und auch Titelverteidiger Stanislav Ziegel aus Deutschland musste seine Hoffnungen auf einen back-to-back Erfolg begraben, konnte aber als 127. erneut einen Cash von den Bahamas mitnehmen, diesmal in Höhe von $67.300.
Die Action wurde natürlich für all diejenigen, die den Flug auf die Bahamas nicht antreten konnten, livegestreamt und für die deutschsprachige Community von Martin Pott und Jens Ullrich kommentiert.
