2857 Teilnehmer sorgten für ein volles Haus im Rio Casino beim $1.500 NL-Holdem Massenevent. Darunter zählten auch sehr viele Deutsche, die versuchten, den Tag zu überleben.
Schauen wir auf die deutsche Liste, ist sie in diesem Event sehr lang. Viele unbekannte Namen sind dort vertreten aber auch einige bekannte Gesichter haben heute am Event teilgenommen. Lukas Bäumer, Peter Bosen, Torsten Haase, Wilfried Harig, Julian Herold, Carsten Joh (Foto), Matthias Kürschner, Marco Liesy, Manig Löser, Mathias Maasberg, Mark Matern, Konstantinos Nanos, Jörg Peisert und Bodo Sbrzesny sind einige von Ihnen.
Von den ehemals 2857 Startern haben es 440 Spieler durch den Tag geschafft. Welche deutschsprachigen Spieler wir morgen sehen werden, sagen uns die Chipcounts heute Abend. An internationalen Pros sind noch Joe Cada, Maria Ho, Nick Binger, David Baker, Kathy Liebert und Erica Schoenberg dabei.
297 Plätze werden bezahlt und für den Sieger des Massenevents gibt es $675.000 Preisgeld. Chipleader an Tag 1 ist der Amerikaner Age Spets mit 140.000 was knapp den 5-fachen Average bedeutet.
